I am considering removing the following algorithms from the next
release of
Crypto++, due to a combination of lack of usage, better alternatives,
and
cost of maintenance. If anyone wants to see them kept in, please speak
up.

HAVAL
MD2
MD4
XORMAC
MD5-MAC


Actually MD2 and MD5 are still (and probably will for ever be) mechanisms
of the PKCS#11 standard.

Clearly Crypto++ is completely unrelated to that standard, but I would
keep them there since the PKCS#11 is actually widely in use and so
potentially are those algorithms.

Not to mention that somebody (like me :-) could be powering a virtual
PKCS#11 token with Crypto++.

Regards,
Giuliano Bertoletti.
