Actually, the hash functions are used in nselib/pop3.lua.  And the
brutePOP3.nse and popcapa.nse scripts in turn use the pop3 library.
So if we change to use the OpenSSL bindings approach, we will have to
deal with these as well.  But they should be easy to update as
pop3.lua only uses it in a couple places.  We'd also need to figure
out how to handle the case when OpenSSL is not available for those
scripts using the library.
