I started on the algorithm conversion but have only made it as far
as null and rmd*. But it should serve as a good template for doing
the rest.

If you could finish them for me I'd be most grateful :)

I'll push what I've got out now.

Cheers,

In case it isn't clear from the code, once we've converted all
the algorithms then we can start converting the existing users
across to the new interface. In particular, authenc can be made
to use shash (or ahash) which would render the spinlock useless.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do :-)
