Please test: scrypt 1.3.0.99

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi scrypt users,

I've just uploaded a tarball which may be (modulo version number update)
release 1.3.1 of the scrypt file encryption utility and key derivation
function library.

Notable changes since 1.3.0:

* New options for providing a passphrase:
  * --passphrase dev:tty-stdin
  * --passphrase dev:stdin-once
  * --passphrase dev:tty-once
  * --passphrase env:VARNAME
  * --passphrase file:FILENAME

* New options for specifying explicit scrypt key derivation parameters to
be used for file encryption: --logN, -r, -p.

There is also some minor refactoring, style fixes, and portability fixes
for OpenBSD and Solaris.

You can download the scrypt code at
  https://www.tarsnap.com/scrypt/scrypt-1.3.0.99.tgz
and the tarball has SHA256 hash
  4adca6edd3ecb4ac9601b2ea23596a5169444b0d2c3866a09c516a887476eb7f
.  You can also see the tree from which I rolled this almost-release at
https://github.com/Tarsnap/scrypt if you find it useful to crawl through
VCS history.

Assuming nobody yells (or the yells are things I can fix quickly and easily)
I'll roll the official scrypt 1.3.1 release some time around the 15th.
