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

[Salz, Rich via RT]

So it's really a request to add four hash functions.  Bummer.

Well, on clients.  On servers, presumably, those cores would be busy ;)

I'd support adding 2b and 2s, in spite of the fact that the names are really really bad.  I'm less interested in seeing the parallel variants added.  FWIW.
