Very likley.  At the time I implemented the HMAC thing the SHA-2
algorithms were not known.

We can't do this because it breaks the ABI.

ctx-> blocksize(), or alternatively a less intrusive, but much uglier special

Yes, we need to do this hack.  Which also means that external modules
requiring a blocksize other that 64 can't be used.
