Thanks for the information.  I passed it on to the Fedora folks who  
had requested that I remove mars.cpp from the pycryptopp source  
distribution.

Of course, I already *have* removed it, so the issue is moot as far  
as pycryptopp is concerned, but it might make things simpler for them  
if they can stop rm'ing mars.cpp from each new release of Crypto++.
