We currently have 2 and 1/4 crypto packages. That seems like the sort of
things you like to clean up.
I would have said we have 2 1/2, but somebody deleted half of the 1/2. I
assume that was part of the --enable-crypto cleanup. There used to be
routines in libisc for MD5 and SHA1. md5.c is gone, but sha1.c is still
there. There are also 2 header files in libisc/include/isc/: md5.h and sha1.h
We need sodium and OpenSSL. I don't know much about either, but 2 seems like
the wrong number. Do we really need both? If so, why? I think we should
have a paragraph someplace explaining why etc.
We also need pointers to the documentation. I think I'd vote for a web page
on our main web site with links to documentation for C99, POSIX, and all the
packages we need.
