Very good, this makes it much easier to get around patent and export
laws, although, I should be okay, I'm a Canadian ;)

I've just looked at this, it looks feasible. The question, I guess, is
CryptoAPI going to get into implementing things, or leave that to the
kernel-patch-int. Actually, is kernel-patch-int even maintained or
developed these days? Or perhaps for 2.5 a full-fledged crypto kernel
patch with _everything_ integrated together.

Anyway, I pulled CVS down, and have been getting familiar with the
source. I should be ready to be productive in a couple more days.
