#158: Hash algorithm agility is hard to implement, as specified

Comment (by [email protected]):

 Andrew Ayer on the idea of forcing a fixed HASH_SIZE:
 "a 32 byte long hash can provide collision resistance of 128 bits (i.e.
 2^128 operations required to find a collision).  However, with quantum
 attacks it's only ~85 bits, so fixing HASH_SIZE at 32 bytes would be
 short-sighted."

 So I'll go with a variable-length vector for hashes.
