Neither is illegal to export (except to a few countries the US wants to punish) as long as you follow the rules. You can also write it as a book and publish the book, which is what was done. DJB also got some rulings on whether the restrictions on publishing encryption algorithms was something that could be restricted. The US government kept trying to drag things out, and ended up saying DJB wouldn't be prosecuted so that the case would be declared moot in order to avoid an unfavorable ruling by the supreme court. So if you don't want to follow the rules, in the end you would likely still win on free speech grounds, but it might cost you a lot of money and some jail time if you publish before going to court.
So, is DJB totally broke now? :)
