[Cryptography Team] Initial package factoring complete (was: Re:some more repository things)

[Ron Teitelbaum]

Thanks Chris and Cees for working through this.  I wish I had more to offer.
I would think that most people that would need cryptology would not need all
packages.  It's probably better to leave them as separate packages.  The
Base package is needed to eliminate duplication of those classes that are
used by all.

Maybe Hans-Martin or Rob have more to offer on the structure?

I'm still working through ASN.1.

Ron

Yup :)

You may want to try a diamond shape:
Cryptography-All (dummy package)
  Cryptography-MD4
    Cryptography-Base
  Cryptography-MD5
...

and agree with the team that you always save on the Cryptography-All
level. That's what we do with Kolibri, and it works fine.

But formally I'm not even a member of the team, so what am I doing here ;)

KISS is probably the way to go for now anyway.
