I tried changing ODF to keychain.h and pbkdf2() and got a 60% boost but I'm not sure it supports all variants (if there are any?) so I did not commit that. Gladman's function has one more parameter and I'm not sure if it matters. I also tried SXC but got no boost, no idea why. Finally, I tried ZIP but that did not even pass self-test.

I did not look at Lukas' code's salt length now but I think it handles 52 characters as-is (just adjust structs if needed).

Great, then we can have the 60% boost for ODF. I can commit it, I still have it handy. Also, I just noticed I missed fixing odf-opencl. I'll fix that.
> 3. SXC and no boost is a mystery. I will take a look. Tell me you did re-compile ;)
Pretty sure I did. Let's hope I just screwed it up.
> 4. ZIP files using AES 256-bit encryption require very long PBKDF2 output (upto 66 bytes). Can the new PBKDF2 code do this? Strangely the zip OpenCL handles this just fine!
As-is, it produces 40 bytes but only 32 are used. It can output up to 40 bytes with a super trivial modification. How do they do more, another bunch of iterations?
