fair enough -- however, could you tell me if these comments come after
having read http://apache.org/dev/crypto.html?  I was kind of hoping
that page comes close to providing the background and list of what
steps must be taken.  I guess I think a rev of the current
cryppto.html page + a rev of this FAQ should be very close to the
needed docs.  Agree?
