 	purposes.

+The libraries used to implement the SHA-1 and SHA-256 algorithms are displayed
+in the form `SHA-1: <option>` and `SHA-256: <option>`. Note that the SHA-1
+options `SHA1_APPLE`, `SHA1_OPENSSL`, and `SHA1_BLK` do not use a collision
+detection algorithm and thus may be vulnerable to known SHA-1 collision
+attacks. When a faster SHA-1 implementation without collision detection is used
+for only non-cryptographic purposes, the algorithm is displayed in the form
+`non-collision-detecting-SHA-1: <option>`.
