secure cryptographic hash functions designed by Niels
Ferguson, Stefan Lucks, Bruce Schneier, Doug Whiting, Mihir
Bellare, Tadayoshi Kohno, Jon Callas and Jesse Walker.
This package uses bindings to the optimized C implementation of
Skein. We provide a high-level interface (see module "Crypto.Skein")
to some of the Skein use cases. We also provide a low-level interface
(see module "Crypto.Skein.Internal") should you need to use Skein
in a different way.
Currently we have support for Skein as cryptographic hash function
as Skein as a message authentication code (Skein-MAC). For examples
of how to use this package, see "Crypto.Skein" module documentation.

that follow either a uniform or normal distribution. The generated
numbers are suitable for use in statistical applications.
The uniform PRNG uses Marsaglia's MWC256 (also known as MWC8222)
multiply-with-carry generator, which has a period of 2^8222 and
fares well in tests of randomness. It is also extremely fast,
between 2 and 3 times faster than the Mersenne Twister.
Compared to the mersenne-random package, this package has a more
convenient API, is faster, and supports more statistical distributions.

- add ERRORS framework to bsd.port.subdir.mk
- trying to add a FLAVOR or a SUBPACKAGE to an intermediate SUBDIR is an
error (see editors/vim-spell,af recently)
- re-including bsd.port.mk/bsd.port.subdir.mk after either of them is an
error (can happen when one moves stuff to Makefile.inc without really thinking
about it, ends up with PKG_ARGS holding some contents twice and make package
erroring out with duplicate contents)
nine releases to mention here.
1.9.x is pretty much end-of-line, so if anyone is actually using
this port, please consider updating it to a release which upstream are
actually supporting.
