Scrypt is simply a program to encrypt
a file using a variable length password.
The password is hashed using the SHA-1
algorithm. Scrypt uses the Serpent algorithm
for encryption.

Scrypt.c is taken almost entirely from rcrypt.c
a program which uses Rijndael for encryption,
although I modified it slightly in order to make
it more readable.
The benefit of using rcrypt is that it's
methods are uniform among the AES finalists.
This made it reletively simple for me to use
it with Serpent.

I've included the orignal rcrypt.c.
