I don't like that. Its hard(er) to script.

Yes. md5(1), sha(1) and bdes(1) can certainly be replaced by openssl(1)
(at least functionally). With minor effort, openssl(1) can take over from
them properly.

Libcrypto is a complete(ish) replacement for libmd. We could do to libmd
what we did to libmp; gut it and make it a wrapper.
