Libgcrypt CFB-mode as CFB-8bit

[liza]

Hello,

I am writing an application that must integrate with a number of other 
external systems over which I have no control. Several of those systems 
already use 8 bit CFB mode to encrypt some data they send and they are 
not likely to change anytime soon. I had hoped to use gcrypt to do the 
decryption and while it works for all the other algorithms in use it 
doesn't for this one.

Thanks,
Liza
