including a source file is not optimal
putting crypto primitives in a library makes perfect sense
the place for this is not libc but a crypto library like
libopenssl, libtomcrypt, libgcrypt, etc
unfortunately most of these are not well-structured or
well-maintained which is important for crypto code
there are various high quality but half baked solutions
(like nacl of djb or the kripto lib that came up on this
list earlier, neither of them are widely used/deployed)
