That sounds great, I'll  give it a go on my system.

Me neither, but I'll have a look and see if I notice anything.

I'm curious to see how these go. 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.

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.
