Re: 28 bit ought to be enough for anyone.

My point was having a native GSSAPI/Kerberos5 implementation written
in Elisp. I will write a API for the bignum stuff so I can switch
between Calc/GMP/externalprogram/whatever without breaking anything
else, so if calc turns out to be too slow even for developing I could
do something like this.
(Yeah, I know, I will never be finished with this until Kerberos 10
is
out, but it's great hack value and I'll probably learn a lot)
Go for it. Crypto stuffs are considered munitions by current USG
laws, but if the President doesn't have to abide by the law, neither
do we. Let's get this stuff in ASAP and make the world a better place.
You have a special O.K. for adding this to what will otherwise be a
bugfix 21.1 if you can get it ready fast enough.
