 - CBC_wPadding* has been replaced by CBC_Encryption and CBC_Decryption
 - Added OneAndZeros and NoPadding methods for CBC
 - Added Lion, a very fast block cipher construction
 - Added an S2K base class (s2k.h) and an OpenPGP_S2K class (pgp_s2k.h)
 - Basic types (ciphers, hashes, etc) know their names now (call name())
 - Changed the EntropySource type somewhat
 - Big speed-ups for ISAAC, Adler32, CRC24, and CRC32
 - Optimized CAST-256, DES, SAFER-SK, Serpent, SEAL, MD2, and RIPEMD-160
