Gone; I've removed the PublicKey code because the interface was all
wrong, and I have no idea what the right interface is.  Paul Rubin is
apparently working on public-key code, and that will be worth checking
out.  The docs aren't fully up to date for the new code yet.

Oh, I hadn't thought of this!  Python comes with MD5 and SHA modules,
and Crypto.Hash.MD5 simply does 'from md5 import *' to make Python's
module available, but if you're on an older version of Python, the md5
module might not support digest_size.  Hmm... I'm going to have to add
code to MD5.py to fix this.
