Just to get a note into bugzilla, I'm currently holding off on this because you
asked me to on IRC.  I've started to lose the context now, but it seems there
are some license issues with this code:

[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:11:20] <tibbs|h>  The license of the RIPEMD160 module is
interesting.
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:12:00] <G>        argh, did I miss read one?
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:12:39] <tibbs|h>  The C code is just Copyright (c)
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven  1996, All Rights Reserved
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:12:51] <tibbs|h>  No license, no distribution rights, no
use rights, nothing.
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:13:15] <tibbs|h>  The perl module authors claim that this
doesn't permit its use under GPL or Artistic, but I guess I don't see how.
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:13:46] <tibbs|h>  I'll have to ask Legal to double-check.
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:14:07] <G>        yeah, by all means
[Sun Jun 22 2008] [23:27:35] <G>        tibbs|h: might want to put
perl-Crypt-RIPEMD on hold, I don't actually know how I missed that

I'll go ahead and ask legal to take a look.
