Re : MD4 digest provider

[Edouard De Oliveira <do...@yahoo.fr>]

We could also use this special provider i wrote which only  provides an md4 implementation.
This implementation is based on the RFC and various implementations i read on the net.

There is (or at least was) and issue with the BC jar in that it
contained an implementation of the patented IDEA algorithm:

if I recall correctly, Geronimo ended up with using a custom built jar
the excluded the affected classes. I don't think we want to get into
that mess, how about ripping out the very minimal subset we need and
including that into our sources (like with the MD5 case)?

That's probably an even easier solution.
