libIPC and SDB are moving along well and appear ideal as Transcript
libraries.

My only concern is for the performance, usability, and distribution
limitations of revBlowfish.  Mark has done a truly amazing job and deserves
many kudos and at least a six-pack of his favorite beverage in recognition
of what he's accomplished.  But for Blowfish to become a practical option
for general use it would require revisions; like Mark pointed out, its
currently more an example than a product.   I'd sure like to see truly
strong encryption as a pair of functions available for common use.
