Oh, that's better. MIT is no problem (once upon a time parts of Mono
were LGPL, which is right out).

Also, I had assumed that Mono would use native platform libraries for
crypto. You know what happens when you assume... :|

If anyone wants to copy the Mono versions (licence intact!) and modify
them to work standalone (i.e. you don't have to keep the base classes,
necessarily, although it might help), *and* update the Python module
implementations, I'll make sure it gets in the next release.
