I like this too, but for cross-platform reasons.  No special code for  
each platform or code that works on just a single platform.

This is the right thing to do.

CryptographyError should be moved to Cryptography-Core and  
CryptographyBase should be renamed to Cryptography-Random.

I'll try to reproduce this, but it shouldn't be happening.  All in  
all, you shouldn't worry much about Undeclared, since it is just a  
class that references another class, before that class is defined.  I  
see lot's of them when I load SSL, for instance.

The interpreterProxy issue will no get resolved.  There is a  
DESPlugin class that subclasses from InterpreterPlugin, which is not  
in the image.  No worries, since we don't use the DESPlugin an  
probably ought to remove it.

No to all the above.   You were doing it right.

This is the original lib, that started the Monticello Cryptography  
lib.   All this new stuff going on is in the Monticello lib.

Load the latest DSA package to address the first but we have other  
errors with Rijndael.  I'll work at them.
