Well, it's certainly fine with me - but it's really up to SqC to decide
what goes into the base image.  I think that there's some feeling that all
of the current cryptography support (SHA, MD5 and DES) should be somehow
consolidated into a single plugin, but to date nobody's found the time to
do that.  This unfortunately includes me.

If anyone else is willing to take up the challenge, please step up!
