I guess most people won't have a clue on what to configure here
(especially with such sparse help text, but even with more 
it would be hard). 

And you might end up with some weird error reports if someone
manages to configure one of the more broken algorithms.

How about a single auto selection heuristic: e.g. check the handshake latencies 
and if they are too long switch from reno to the newer one deemed most
stable?
