I don't think so, due to the software patent issue. While my personal
belief differs, while working for HP I am constrained to follow patents.

Yes, 56-bit keys. I haven't found any demand for that. The options are
also slightly different, though that would be easy to ignore.
Jan's work though looks robust and thorough. Having the work hosted
like that, with current patches for all current kernels, is more than
Frank is doing. ;-)
