(Heh. Looking at that, I probably should move the 'size' field first, 
since that would have different alignment rules, and the struct would be 
more tightly packed that way, and initialize better).

I was about to suggest (i.e. post) a patch for that.  This is indeed a 
good idea.

Afaik, none of the actual code remains (the mozilla SHA1 thing did the 
wrong thing for performance even for just the final bytes, and did those a 
byte at a time etc, so I rewrote even the trivial SHA1_Final parts).

Maybe a patch adding a proper header with the actual license would be a 
good idea too.

So have you decided on a final licence,
and if so update the headers accordingly?

cheers!
