RFC1510 and clarifications pretty much leave subkey negotiation to the
applications.
To stay true to this the APIs could allow an application-provided
callback function
to produce the local and remote sub-keys given the proposed sub-keys
from the
AP exchange as input.

Er, well, I suspect not, but if the default mkr_req/mk_rep behaviour
changes apps
would break, no?  What about older kcmd?  Is there a reflection attack
there if
unidirectional keys are not used?
