That's why I created libsha1. Let's just use it :) Brian have
dual-licensed code under BSD and GPLv1+, so it should not be a problem.

On really low-powered devices (my current lower bound is ARMv5TE 233MHz)
it may take ~3 seconds to load 50 libraries and reach main(), but I did
not yet profile it so I don't know why it takes so long.
