Yes, it's my intent to add a couple popular hashes; the work is
pending getting small implementations of them under appropriate
license (tomcrypt is probably the best source), and doing the
necessary integration. Before doing any work on this, I also want to
completely replace the current DES implementation with one from
tomcrypt; it should be moderately smaller in code size, MUCH smaller
in memory usage, and much faster.
