+Issues to be addressed for src/lib/crypto: -*- text -*-
+\f
+Many files here and in subdirectories pollute the namespace.
+However, some applications wanting to directly use some of those
+routines will expect those names to be available.
+
+Workaround: Shared library export lists?  Define and export internal
+names, and provide wrapper library code or weak functions under the
+polluting names?
+\f
+Some routines assume "int" is big enough to describe all buffers that
+may be supplied.
+\f
+The prng here is poor.  It should not use n-fold as a mixing function,
+because it's possible that the input will be structured in some way
+that may interact poorly with the n-fold algorithm.
