The reason for this is that there is existing Crypt_* packages, and
putting this into PEAR as-is would break that sort of, in that the
existing packages are stand-alone and these are not. :Like I said, I
like the idea of having it all in one, but it just doesn't fit into PEAR
like that. I will bring this up on the pear-dev ML and see what they
think should be done.
