The patch is now 83 lines affecting 3 files (sigchk sigmak elitmk).  I
think the DER version would be a few more, and it took less than 30

derive the algorithm from the keyid, but I could a flag or something
else). 

Do you have a sense of how big the code would be to implement the MDC in
the encryption layer as originally proposed?  Possibly if the MDC were
in a separate packet so you could identify it easily?
