Yes they really should have been part of the previous series
since it's not lib/crypto code.  I'll split them out.

Sorry about that.  But sha256 happens to be the only other lib/crypto
hash algorithm that I could take the code from.  It also turns out
to generate x86 code that's much better than poly1305 (I actually
started out with poly1305, but switched over to sha256 after I saw
how horrible sha256 looked with the poly1305 partial block handling).

Cheers,
