0abb67d replaces direct use of rust-crypto with libsodium

Rust-Crypto isn't abandoned, but it has been badly ignored and for that I apologize.

That being said, Rust-Crypto is still very experimental and has not had anything resembling the amount of security review of something like libsodium. If security is important to you, there are good reasons you might want to consider using that library anyway.

I guess I'll close this then. Thanks for the response.
