"ucspi-s"?

!  i've been waiting for this.  what about the interface, is is
abstract enough, so that people could use other libraries, is there
library access?  also, if it is based on nistp244, hash127 and RC4,
i'd expect it to be _very_ fast.  do you have data on it's speed?

last, but not least:  nistp244 has this interesting feature:  people
can create shared secrets.  has this feature been retained or made use
of in minssl?

i'm on the lookout for fast crypto for IM2000 ...
