Crypto++ has a DataDir patch, which allows the cryptest.exe program to
run after installation. For more details, see
http://www.cryptopp.com/wiki/DataDir.

With the patch, the steps to build and install are (PREFIX is a bit
uncommon, but it the way the library has always done things):

    gmake static dynamic cryptest.exe PREFIX=/usr/local
    ./cryptext.exe v
    sudo gmake install PREFIX=/usr/local
    /usr/local/bin/cryptext.exe v

We are trying to gauge if this should remain a separate patch, or if
its something that should be incorporated for maintainers and users.

If the maintainer for the library is interested, please comment at
