Yes, but this should be no problem for you.

Why not? From what you wrote above, it sounds like you simply need an
extra function to set the initial DES block, but then you can use a
trivial variation of the existing DES_bs_crypt_LM() as I had suggested.

Why? If you only have one fixed key to use (note: I did not check
whether this is the case or not), then you can simply call the existing
DES_bs_set_key() with that key for all bit layers (0 to DES_BS_DEPTH-1)
in init().

Please update to 1.7.9-jumbo-5. There's no DES_bs_clear_keys() in
1.7.9+, and there have been other changes to the bitslice DES code as
well. Your patch should be against 1.7.9+'ish code.

As I suggested, DES_bs_crypt_LM() is a closer match. DES_bs_crypt()
adds salts and iterations, which you don't need.

OK. Thank you for the status update!
