Well, by cryptographic I mean "interesting crypto-type functions," not
necessarily just reversible mappings. As far as an encryption API is
concerned, hash functions are no different: a byte stream comes in, a
different byte stream comes out.
I ask because I'm starting to put together those GUCAPI function I was
talking about before the new year and defining the initial set of functions.
L. McCarthy noted that I didn't include sapphire, and I've included it
in the (trivially expandable) interface definition. I'm more interested
in being inclusive than in excluding cryptographicall weak functions
(and I don't feel that I'm qualified at this point to make the call between
what's weak and strong anyway).

...talking of which, is sapphire available outside of the USA? I'd quite
like to have a look at it.
