I've been rattling emails off of Jack trying to get both the sha1_ia32 and sha1_sse2 modules to properly configure on my pentium-m and I think that's now working so I'll see how they perform here. Initial tests with botan seem to show that ia32 asm is faster than sse2 on pentium-m which seemed a bit odd. After just having upgraded (and now landed) monotone's included botan to > 1.7.12.

I noticed that gentoo only has 1.6.5 or something so I'll see if I can encourage someone in portage land to get the botan dev stuff in as unstable. Cheers, Derek
