 *
 *		Let %$p$% be the numerical value of the input buffer, and let
 *		%$b$% be the number of bytes required.  Let
 *		%$z = \lceil b / 20 \rceil%$ be the number of SHA outputs
 *		required.  Then the output of pass %$n$% is
 *
 *		  %$P_n = \sum_{0 \le i < z} 2^{160i} SHA(p + nz + i)$%
 *							%${} \bmod 2^{8b}$%
 *
 *		and the actual result in the output buffer is the XOR of all
 *		of the output passes.
 *
 *		The DSA procedure for choosing @q@ involves two passes with
 *		%$z = 1$%; the procedure for choosing @p@ involves one pass
 *		with larger %$z$%.  This generalization of the DSA generation
 *		procedure is my own invention but it seems relatively sound.
