	Hrrm.  This complicates things.  They have the same contact
address the README, and the Crypt version is newer, so I made the
natural assumption that it had changed.  Both have the 64 bit bug
(thou shalt not follow broken RFC's to the letter), though.  (I sent a
patch a few days ago.)
	Any idea when this will get hashed out?  I'm planning on using
the module in some scripts, and it would be nice to have a name that
will continue to exist.
