Here's bit clarified pgcrypto summary:

- Implemention of OpenPGP symmetric- and public-key encryption.
  Supported are both RSA and Elgamal public-key algorithms.

- Standalone build: include SHA256/384/512 hashes, Fortuna PRNG.

- OpenSSL build: support 3DES, use internal AES with OpenSSL < 0.9.7.

- Take build parameters (OpenSSL, zlib) from ./configure result.
  No need to edit Makefile anymore.

The mhash note can stay as-is.
