Hi Brendan!  I would indeed be very happy to look at your patch and commit it.
I would like to keep opencrypto in 7.x in sync with head (and 8.x) at least
for the forseeable future, so I don't think merging to 7.x will be a problem.

Provided the code works, of course. ;-)

Feel free to send me the code and I'll take a look.

Thanks!

 - Philip
