  Log:
  Eksblowfish is a variant of the Blowfish cipher, modified to make the
  key setup very expensive.  ("Eks" stands for "expensive key
  schedule".)  This doesn't make it significantly cryptographically
  stronger, but is intended to hinder brute-force attacks.  It also
  makes it unsuitable for any application requiring key agility.  It was
  designed by Niels Provos and David Mazieres for password hashing in
  OpenBSD.
  
  Eksblowfish is a parameterised (family-keyed) cipher.  It takes a cost
  parameter that controls how expensive the key scheduling is.  It also
  takes a family key, known as the "salt".  Cost and salt parameters
  together define a cipher family.  Within each family, a key determines
  an encryption function in the usual way.
  
  This distribution also includes an implementation of "bcrypt", the
  Unix crypt() password hashing algorithm based on Eksblowfish.
