Indeed I should have.  I'll keep it in mind for the future.

My implementation in C is just as simple as yours in Ruby, and the API
is a superset of Perl's, which simply provides a static function only.

My API is not complex at all.  It's fairly easy to use.  Here's an
example as follows:

	require 'digest/bubblebabble'

	# as a static function
	puts Digest.bubblebabble(Digest::SHA1.digest('BubbleBabble'))

	# like hexdigest()
	puts Digest::SHA1.bubblebabble('BubbleBabble')

	# like hexdigest() via the instance method
	hash = Digest::SHA1.new
	hash.update('BubbleBabble')
	puts hash.bubblebabble

Where you can use any hashing algorithms besides SHA1.

My intension is to implement a usable and extensible framework and
unified API for message digesting.

Sorry for the trouble.
