[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3897] request: add BLAKE2 hash function (let's kill md5sum!)

[Bill Cox via RT]

Not that my opinion here counts, but I'll second the call for BLAKE2
support.  The SIMD implementation is one of the finest works of efficient
cryptographic code I've run across.  It's so efficient, it became by far
the most popular hash function in the Password Hashing Competition.  BLAKE2
rocks.  It leaves SHA256 in the dust.
