Re: [RFC/PATCH] Optimized PowerPC SHA1 generation for Darwin (OS X)

The compiler toolchain supplied by Apple's Xcode environment has an old
version (1.38) of the GNU assembler.  It cannot assemble the optimized
ppc/sha1ppc.S file.  ppc/sha1ppc.S was rewritten into a Perl script
which outputs the same code, but valid for the Xcode assembler.

Gaah.

When there are improvements/fixes to the sha1ppc.S side, how are
you going to keep that in sync with darwin_ppc_gen.pl?  If that
script *_gen.pl were a postprocessor that munges CPP output from
sha1ppc.S to make it assemblable with an old assembler, it would
be one thing.  But this looks horrible.
