I wonder, does this only refer to the original `extension module' code
that was used by GnuPG or is the concept as a whole not wanted
anymore?  Regarding code simplicity, the module handling code is
contained in Libgcrypt [GnuPG would have to load the external
algorithm implementation and then pass the according functions to
Libgcrypt...].
