amkCrypto/mxCrypto on Win32 with Visual C++

[Alexander Gavrilov]

I didn't try to install this package, but...
Even this construct is perfectly legal according to C++ standard, VC++
doesn't support it. I can suggest to replace these two lines:

     static int const blocksize = 1;
     static int const keysize = 0;

with the following:

enum
{
     blocksize = 1,
     keysize = 0
};

It should work with VC++.
