[Mhash-dev] mhash 0.9.7 released

[Jonathan D. <im...@ya...>]

Hi

Ok, tracked down the problem with Snefru on big-endian
machines. It re-ordered the bytes regardless of the
native ordering, so on big-endian machines it would
totally mangle things. This should now be fixed.

I've applied the various submitted patches, cleaned up
a whole bunch of redundant code in alder32 (and
elsewhere) and tidied up the configure stuff.

Byte ordering macros have been provided in mutils, to
and from native, for 16-bit and 32-bit words. I've
also added memory locking into mutils, so that when
libmcrypt is ported over, the memory functions can all
be handled there.

Still looking at treetiger, as it may be possible to
extend the concept to ANY hash algorithm - in which
case, this will be an option that is handled by a flag
and not as a distinct hash.

Patches are very welcome. Patches that add new hashes
are VERY welcome. Patches that will help with adding
aforementioned tree would also be VERY welcome.

Jonathan
