Trying to build openconnect 8.20 on ubuntu 20

[Dimitri Papadopoulos Orfanos]

While I agree on pushing warnings to client end users to help general 
awareness about antiquated protocols, end users are usually not in a 
position to do anything about obsolete corporate VPN gateways.

As long as proprietary clients support some antiquated protocols, it's 
hard not to expect the same from OpenConnect.

If you think about it, it's a whole different issue on the **client** 
side and the **server** side. Perhaps it would make sense to have 
distinct TLS stacks/settings for services and clients, trying hard to 
minimize attacks vectors on services, and trying to preserve usability 
of clients.

Best Regards,
Dimitri

Eventually these protocols will completely be removed from the OS libraries. It would be better to focus on giving good instructions to the user and warnings that these protocols will not be available for long, to help towards a transition to the newer generation of protocols rather than focus on keeping the old beasts alive.
