i'd be fine with reimplementing my patch above to use xmlsec, if there's
some relatively easy way to generate MD5,SHA1, and RIPEMD160 sums with it.

i'd also be OK with the ltdl.{c,h} approach, though that sounds like more
work ;)

it does sound like we(i)'d be eventually reimplementing alot of the xmlsec
work with the ltdl.{c,h} approach, so maybe using xmlsec is smarter...

i don't suppose we want to just include BSD versions of SHA1,MD5, etc right
in libexslt, but we could MD5 is about 300 lines of add once and forget about
code, SHA1 is 700.
