Hi, i was recently looking at libmhash, mhash.sourceforge.net, that may
be a good source for code as well, its has crc32, md4 md5, sha1, havel,
ripemd160, tiger, gost and some key generation stuff.

It all looks pretty easy to get at, md4 looks pretty simple (at a
superficial glance)

Its CVS is at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/mhash/lib/?cvsroot=mhash
