Hi

Perhaps this would be a good time to mention that I have a plan to
nuke libmd in favour of the MD* and SH* routines in libcrypto. The
libcrypto routines are a _lot_ faster than the libmd ones, and their
use is more ubiquitous.

For the folks who don't need/want full crypto, the plan is also to
provide a "strip-down" option to libcrypto, in order to accomodate
paranoid governments.

This is ther first time I'm mentioning this in public, so please don't
panic - I won't be doing anything until the right folks agree.

M
