Nope. Only digest() is there :( I have encrypt/decrypt stuff
coded, but there is problem with "what I tell"/"what I want"
differences - so I mostly dig in various crypto libraries
around at the moment. It would be nice if encrypted data can be
decrypted with later versions of pgcrypto too :)
I have hoped to get the binary format stable, then release,
but if there is interest I can make a for-playing-only release.
Btw, I have hmac() and crypt() too...
