Sure, it'll just grab stuff from google and claim that it translated it from the bytes. ;)

Nice work!

For the hashes, I think you should follow the interface of the Phobos std.digest package, with `start`, `put` and `finish` methods:

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_digest_digest.html

Also, in 2.068 there will be an optional enum `blockSize` (in bits) for the hash algorithms, for use with the newly added std.digest.hmac. Your library has a runtime method for that. Isn't the block size always known at compile time? If you could change it to an enum, your library would be compatible with Phobos.

Maybe a similar interface should be used for the block ciphers?

Would be awesome to have similar API. Even most C API for hashes vs cyphers looks almost the same.
