[fonc] crypto metalanguage

I wanted to bring to your attention Ben Laurie's Stupid: A
Metalanguage For Cryptography.  Despite the name it actually is
helpful for abstracting the design of cryptographic algorithms.

ROFL! Most of the time, for most people, organizations, and businesses,
roll-your-own crypto is totally stupid! But a language for metadescription
of cryptographic algorithms totally makes sense, both as a way of generating
standards compliant implementations, and to address the problem of my
platform doesn't speak C and I need a secure/reliable crypto
implementation.

Cool! Now if we only had the metadescriptions:)
