Subject: [PATCH] Speed up VNC encryption by pre-computing DES_set_odd_parity()

Hello, friends of the computer security industry!

The attached patch speeds up VNC encryption by just over 20% on my
64-bit Apple and Dell devices.
It should apply cleanly to the master branch of the magnum-jumbo tree.

Most of the speed is gained by applying DES_set_odd_parity() to the
bit_flip[] array in advance.  A few more percent increase in speed is
gained by replacing the call to DES_set_key_checked() with a call to
DES_set_key_unchecked().  Unlike the former, the latter neither does
parity nor weak DES key checks.
