I'm not sure what the story is on ecrypto. The Gnus version seems to
be the "canonical" one. None of the others get installed; they are in
CVS because we try to keep our sources as close to the original as
possible to simplify maintenance.
Another weird thing is that `md5' is provided as a builtin and md5.c
provides the md5 feature in both Xemacs and Emacs. So you cannot
(require 'md5) to get the other md5- functions from the Rees package.
If you (load "md5") then it will clobber the builtin :-/
