Thanks for the patch Miyazawa-san!

Just a quick thought: HMAC is a bit of a misfit in the crypto directory.
It's neither core code (cipher/digest/compress) nor your average crypto
algorithm.

The new XCBC seems to make pretty good company for HMAC :)

Actually, they're both really digest algorithms that take a parameter.
The parameter for HMAC happens to be another digest algorithm while
the parameter for XCBC is an encryption algorithm.

So longer term I'd like to see both written as proper digest algorithms.

Cheers,
