* Add table to Crypto.Util package docs
* Clarify that PKCS#1v1.5 encryption only works on byte strings
* Clarify that padding is ignored by Cipher classes
* Clarify that block encrypt() and decrypt() do not respectively
add and remove any padding.
* Clarify what the 'overflow' parameter does (that is, nothing)
to the Crypto.Util.Counter class.
The `disable_shortcut` option served as a workaround in case
`__PCT_CTR_SHORTCUT__` leaked through a wrapper object, but I don't
think anyone actually used it, and it was a bad idea to expose it as
part of the public API.
Now that we do strong type checking inside block_template.c, there
shoujld be no need to ever use this option. It's now a no-op, retained
for backward compatibility only. It will be removed in some future
version of PyCrypto.
o _fastmath now builds and runs on PY3K
o Changes to setup.py to allow /usr/include for gmp.h
o Changes to setup.py to allow linking fastmath w/ static mpir
on Windows without warning messages
o Changes to test_DSA/test_RSA to throw an exception if _fastmath
is present but cannot be imported (due to an issue building
_fastmath or the shared gmp/mpir libraries not being reachable)
o number.py has the code to flag a failing _fastmath, but that
code is commented out for a better runtime experience
o Clean up the if for py21compat import - should have been == not is
o Clean up some '== None' occurences, now 'is None' instead
In an attempt to simplify the copyright status of PyCrypto, I'm placing my
code into the public domain, and encouraging other contributors to do the
same.
I have used a public domain dedication that was recommended in a book on FOSS legal
issues[1], followed by the warranty disclaimer boilerplate from the MIT license.

This will avoid the previous situation where scripts like the old "test.py"
get included accidentally in a release. It also frees us to put additional
build scripts in the top-level directory of the source tree.
