If I remember correctly, that's the way you wanted... We disabled 
4.1 server supported this way, because the code did not conform to 
the RFC. This was done back in Fed 2010.

All this patch is doing is reorganizing things so there is a
configuration option to enable/disable the 4.1 client.   

Now, I agree. Enabling/disabling the 4.1 server in a more 
dynamic way would be good... Is the code ready for that?
Should this constraint be remove completely?
