Incidentally, OpenSSH's crypto library is OpenSSL.
We've got md4, md5, and sha hashes in our crypto support. IOW, it is only
cryptographic hashing algorithms -- not full cryptography. I don't really
see much need to reuse those functions from an installed library -- it could
cause more problems that its worth.
Is there a specific problem with apu including those hashing algorithms?
OpenSSL's are almost certainly faster. Though that probably doesn't matter.
