Thanks. Just to make it clear: for suitably licensed source files, we
can even reuse the code as-is (and then modify it to fit our interfaces,
to optimize it further, etc.) Not just take some ideas from there.
I suspect that the OpenCL kernels in cgminer readily have faster SHA-256
code than ours.
For other hash types such as SHA-512, indeed we can only take ideas (and
I do recall that you worked on SHA-512 specifically so far).
