So many people have asked about more ciphers for loop-AES that next release
may have additional extra-ciphers package with at least serpent, blowfish
and twofish ciphers.

I copied and audited serpent and blowfish from cryptoapi, and took twofish
from SuSE kernel sources. Just for the record, blowfish implementation in
cryptoapi on little endian boxes is not straight blowfish, but some
mutated-byteorder-variation. Cryptoapi blowfish on big endian boxes
implements blowfish correctly.
