This removes all non-MD5 ciphers and adds a few not in the default set due to
their redicilous weakness.. such as MD5-NULL which only authenticates the
endpoints (no encryption).

If you really want to only support MD5 then you should either list the
explicit ciphers you want to support, or start from DEFAULT and remove any
ciphers you do not want to support..

  DEFAULT:-SHA

Having servers who accept insanely weak SSL chipers is unwise. Can in some
situations allow an attacker to force the browser to downgrade to such weak
cipher.
