Turbine 2.2 makes no use of Fulcrum.  Turbine 2.3 does not use Fulcrum
either.  

I know nothing about the crypto service or the proposals that went
around about that topic.  That might be a good question for the
turbine-dev list.

Given that it does not appear that the current plans for Turbine will
the include use of Fulcrum in the near future, I would suggest that you
refactor the code from Fulcrum into Turbine 2.3.  This should be a
fairly painless process...  Then implement your needs for the salting.

If you need help with this effort, the people on the dev list should be
willing to help you out.  

Once you are done, you can submit the crypto service for inclusion into
Turbine 2.3.
