The man himself (Gutmann) includes blowfish and idea in his own crypt 
stuff: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/cryptlib/main.html

I may well have missed something here but seems a little stupid (in his 
words) to attack software that give the same choices (of algorithm) as 
his?? But then again he's not really attacking the algorithm's 
themselves (well he is attacking IDEA and DES/3DES indirectly).....

Still a rather childish tone....
