+on OSX <= 10.7, the system compiler doesn't understand the '-maes' option, and

+Disabling AESNI
+---------------
+
+It may be useful to disable AESNI (for building, testing or runtime purpose), and one can do that with the
+*support_aesni* flag.
+
+As part of configure of cryptonite:
+
+```
+  cabal configure --flag='-support_aesni'
+```
+
+or as part of an installation:
+
+```
+  cabal install --constraint="cryptonite -support_aesni"
+```
+
