i'd like to sponsor this package but gvpe has the security idiosyncrasy
of selecting a single symmetric cipher and digest algorithm at compile
time, and i'm afraid one of the first bugs filed would be a request for
more than one cipher/digest combination.
if you're ok with my changes to the package i'd like to sponsor it:
