SHA-3 Release 1.0.0

As atonement for the recent MD5 release, and since we seem to perversely enjoy bumming numeric Common Lisp code, we have put together an implementation of the newly announced SHA-3, i.e. the algorithm formerly known as Keccak.

The package should be portable across nearly all ANSI compliant CL implementations with specialized versions tuned for implementations that offer unboxed 64bit arithmetic, unboxed 32bit arithmetic and for implementations with efficient fixnum arithmetic.

The release is available from its PMSF page, and its GitHub home.

Many thanks go to the Keccak Team (Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaƫl Peeters and Gilles Van Assche, cf. http://keccak.noekeon.org) for their algorithm and excellent documentation and reference implementations.
