  No we didn't put in a SHA-1 implementation yet because we were starting to 
see a library develop full of algorithms with uncommon interfaces.  It also 
adds quite a bit of size to the library.  I have planned for a while to make 
a consistent interface to hashing functions with a light weight dynamic 
loading system so that applications don't end up with 20 different sets of 
tables in memory when they don't even use 19 of them.  Maybe I'll get a 
chance to do this for 3.2.  I have a framework made already which has proven 
well for MD5 and SHA-1, so with a dynamic loading system and a bit of cleanup 
and testing it might actually work well.
