libgcrypt is done like this:

libgcrypt API ----> Common cryptographic algorithms layer (for some
algorithms it's quite a passthrough) --->  ciphers

Although we use ciphers from libgcrypt, our middle layer is much simpler
and lacks per-cipher integer IDs. Because of it using gc-libgcrypt.c
would require an additional level of wrapping and it's much easier to
just modify few lines in PBKDF2
