Openssl enc algorithm support

On the Openssl DOCUMENTATION, it has rc4-64 listed as being supported (in some version it seems). I had an openssl 1.0.1 version from 2012 loaded in a Ubuntu vm but when I started up openssl enc, it was not listed as supported. I checked for the latest version and the last one was actually released a few days ago (1.0.1.f). So I decided to upgrade. It all went smoothly, but it looks like in the latest release, rc4-64 is still not available. I assume there may be some old and insecure version that supports it, but that makes things kind of annoying that it would be excluded when it's still used.
