Comment (by warner):

 I've updated my branch with some improvements:

  * add a power-on self-test
  * fix the same wrong-length-IV bug that was present in the AES code (#70)

 I skimmed xsalsamodule.cpp looking for memory problems, and nothing jumped
 out at me.

 One question came to mind, though: do we want this to be named
 "{{{xsalsa}}}", or would "{{{XSalsa20}}}" be better? (Or even
 "{{{Salsa20}}}"? I'm not sure exactly what the "X" means, and calling it
 Salsa20 would distinguish it from the reduced-round Salsa12/Salsa08
 variants).
