+ Implements interface to OpenSSL EVP_Digest* functions.\r
+\r
+ Interface made as close to hashlib as possible.\r
+\r
+ This module is really an excess effort. Hashlib allows access to\r
+ mostly same functionality except oids and nids of hashing\r
+ algortithms (which might be needed for private key operations).\r
+\r
+ hashlib even allows to use engine-provided digests if it is build\r
+ with dinamically linked libcrypto - so use\r
+ ctypescrypto.engine.set_default("gost",xFFFF) and md_gost94\r
+ algorithm would be available both to this module and hashlib.\r
