Provide a script to regenerate the Blowfish init tables.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Since I've recently published a program that can easily generate the
required digits of pi, and since I was messing around in sshblowf.c
already, it seemed like a good idea to provide a derivation of all
that hex data.
