Re: SHA3 implementation in src

From: Alistair Crooks <agc%pkgsrc.org@localhost>
Any objections to adding Taylor Campbell's implementation of sha3 to src?
Proposed diffs in:
http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/agc/sha3-src-20160305.diff
The last time I proposed this, before SHA-3 was finalized, joerg
objected to it because overlap between libc and OpenSSL libcrypto for
the sha2 functions had historically caused a lot of trouble, and he
anticipated similar problems with an analogous sha3 API.
Smaller issues, OpenSSL aside:
- I wrote a man page for my SHA-3 code at
<http://mumble.net/~campbell/hg/sha3/SHA3.3> -- you might want to
use that instead of copying the SHA-2 one, which makes incorrect
claims such as `This implementation of the SHA functions was written
by Aaron D. Gifford'. There's also a man page for the SHAKE API:
<http://mumble.net/~campbell/hg/sha3/SHAKE.3>.
- I included atf tests in my last proposal. If we go through with
this, atf tests needn't necessarily be in the first commit but we
should include them.
- No need to define __BEGIN_DECLS if you include <sys/cdefs.h>?
