Thanks for adding it, but it doesn't work for me, make check says:

algo 301, grcy_md_open failed: invalid hash algorithm
algo 301, grcy_md_open failed: invalid hash algorithm

Does it work for you?  Note that my original patch didn't work for me
either, so my original post asked how to fix it.  I tried to debug why
it didn't work, but I lost myself in the dynamic module loading code,
in which I assume the problem also lies.  MD4 seems to be properly
statically linked though.
