Sorry, I hadn't run 'git pull' recently.  The last commit to libsodium was
actually today!  I don't know why the maintainer isn't tagging new releases more
frequently.  The last, 1.0.18, was 4 years ago.  But it seems unfair to call an
active project "abandoned" just because of lack of tagged releases.

Anyway, this is basically a moot point now, since in v3 of this patch I dropped
the mentions of any specific crypto libraries...
