Well, right.  But the point I was making in my previous email

http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-January/015375.html

is that nobody seems to be using TLS/IA, the code in wpa-supplicant was
apparently never all that well tested, and support for it has been
removed entirely in the latest versions of all the relevant software
(and hence, barring heroic efforts, we will lose it anyway next time
wpa-supplicant is upgraded).  

So, unless you know of anybody who actually has a requirement for that
protocol today, I would be inclined to just turn it off unconditionally
rather than adding some mechanism to turn it on and off based on
INCOMPATIBLE_LICENSE.
