[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] crypto-api-tests

[Thomas DuBuisson]

The crypto-api test modules have been split out into their own
package, crypto-api-tests.  Additionally, the tests now use the
test-framework package.  This should make it much easier for
hash/cipher maintainers to integrate into their existing testing
infrastructure.  For example:

$ cabal update ; cabal install cryptocipher crypto-api crypto-api-tests

{- BEGIN CODE -}
    import Test.Framework
    import Test.AES (makeAESTests)
    import Crypto.Cipher.AES (AES128)

    main = do
      ts <- makeAESTests (a :: AES128)
      defaultMain ts
{- END CODE -}

$ ghc test.hs ; ./test
...

Patches for more algorithms and/or property tests for classes of
algorithms are certainly welcome.
