The speedup applies to any type of crypto. I didn't bother implementing the
MD5 half. The change is just cleaning up the per-digest initialization.
We'll want it for anything going forward.
man EVP_DigestInit_ex says:
The functions EVP_DigestInit(), EVP_DigestFinal() and EVP_MD_CTX_copy()
are obsolete but are retained to maintain compatibility with existing
code. New applications should use EVP_DigestInit_ex(),
EVP_DigestInit_ex() and EVP_DigestFinal_ex() were added in OpenSSL
0.9.7.
If we end up with really old versions of OpenSSL, a few ifdefs will fix it.
Nothing older that 1.0.1 around here.
