Alright.

I imported ciphers from 1.4.4 in this branch:

  sftp://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/srv/bzr/grub/people/robertmh/libgcrypt

also, I integrated your import_gcry.py script with autogen.sh.  This way
auto-generated files don't have to be hosted in our repository.  If in
the future original libgcrypt files need modification, this can be committed
directly in lib/libgcrypt (provided that we coordinate with libgcrypt
maintainers to have those changes merged back, of course).

When you have confirmed that this seems correct to you, I'll write a
ChangeLog entry and merge in trunk.
