Yeah, I have. I have source too... I try to make Real Soon a
beta release, coz I have now mostly stable internal interfaces
worked out. Real stable encrypting will still take some time,
coz I have found amazing amount of bugs, needed workarounds and
simply weirdnesses in different crypto libraries. Only way to
make sure that a cipher produces right results is to test with
official test vectors. Fun, fun...
