This is definitely not planned - we rather not bundle any library, and definitely not an LGPL library.
Reinventing the wheel by providing encryption routines in PHP does not make sense really. PHP is meant to be a glue to provide access to libraries, and not meant to be reimplementing them.
The issue in my mind is one of portability. It would be nice, as a developer working in PHP, to be able to rely on functionality like encryption (and other unrelated goodies) being available on Joe User's $5/month webhost who don't go around installing fancy packages.
