There was a discussion as to if HMAC should be (directly) under the
namespace "Digest", so I'm keeping it in trunk at the moment.

I am interested in and have some ideas for improving digest/crypto
interfaces, which I am going to work on together with Yuzo-san, the
maintainer of ext/openssl, and those who are interested in that area.

Speaking of which, the OpenSSL::HMAC module is available right now. :)
