James, Robert -
First of all, thank you for your efforts on this!

My understanding is that SHA-256 is only available starting with
OpenSSL 0.9.8, whereas the jumbo patches require 0.9.7+ so far (not
necessarily 0.9.8+). So if we merge the hmailserver support patch, we
make the jumbo patch require 0.9.8+, which is a bit of a problem
(although it's becoming more acceptable over time). Maybe we should
include a SHA-256 implementation into the patch itself for now.
Another comment I had is that maybe we need "generic salted SHA-256"
support, similar to what I did for SHA-1 and MD4 recently, instead of
the specialized hmailserver support patch.
Thanks again,
Alexander
