We could actually use the Gnulib crypto modules.  There’s a
duplication/convenience trade-off: we’d provide useful functionality by
default, at the expense of duplicating C code in our tarballs (2500 SLOC
for Gnulib’s sha*.[ch] and md5.[ch].)

Opinions?

I think I’d be more inclined to have good bindings in libgcrypt proper,
but I’d like to hear what others think.
