The JUnit tests do work. The GCJ compilation tripped me at first since I
didn't run `automake; autoconf`, but since the CVS sources still include
the Makefile.in's they should be patched as well (or removed; the CVS
sources should just have the Makefile.am's, IMO). I'll defer to Raif as
to whether or not MD2 will be included in the library -- which reminds
me, how will we decide what algorithms to include next? I've been
tinkering with Blowfish, and could have it ready to include.

MD2 isn't the speediest hash ever 8-).
