No, I didn't mean to use libgcrypt directly, I just suggested reuse part
of libgcrypt code(only the common digest algorithm) and make wrapper,
then put the C code in libguile.

The gcrypt-guile project is doing so, I'll help it if I can.
But my original thought is orthogonal with gcrypt-guile, just put some
common digest algorithm in libguile rather than a full-stack crypto-lib.
My suggest opposed by many guys, since they don't think md5/sha are very
common things. ;-)
But I'm dealing with server & web framework development, so I need
digest so much, and maybe it's no so common.
I'll let this topic alone, till others found they have same
requirements, or just forget about it. ;-D
