Yeah, I have.  I have source too...  I try to make Real Soon a
beta release, coz I have now mostly stable internal interfaces
worked out.  Real stable encrypting will still take some time,
coz I have found amazing amount of bugs, needed workarounds and
simply weirdnesses in different crypto libraries.  Only way to
make sure that a cipher produces right results is to test with
official test vectors.  Fun, fun...
