It looks like Botan is limited to 32 byte keys for arcfour -
AFAICT it should be safe to increase the "32" maximum key
length in arc4.cpp to 256, though I'll take a closer look
first (and compare with crypto++'s behaviour).
monotone 0.21 was using crypto++, so that should be able to
use keys up to 256 bytes as a workaround.
