-Authors report insanely slow software speeds.

-Hongjun Wu and Bart Preneel report various attacks on WG.
+Courtois writes: ``Sfinks broken by fast algebraic attacks.''
+I disagree; Courtois's attack is slower than brute force.
+<h2>Notes on WG version 1 (withdrawn)</h2>
+Hongjun Wu and Bart Preneel report various attacks on WG version 1.
 Authors write:
 ``We admit that 22 clock cycles for key/IV setup phased as suggested by
 us in the original WG paper was too optimistic. ...
 We therefore recommend the key/IV setup phase of the WG cipher
 to be 88 clock cycles.
 No design changes are required.''
