>From what that page says, it looks like thta sha1 is not recommended for
actual use (although they don't test with gcc 4.x).  I've come across the
gnulib sha1 routine, which is adequately-licensed, and is fast enough to
give us a 10% speedup in my obliterate test (beyond which we probably hit
diminishing returns--we're probably no longer spending much time in sha1 at
all).
