FiSHLiM encryption

[thufir]

Hi again,

it's not so much that I'm looking for good encryption so much as to 
replicate whatever FiSHLiM under hexchat is doing -- but on Pidgin.

So, if FiSHLiM is based on blowfish, then perhaps blowfish will work for 
this purpose.  I'll have to look into that a bit.

Just going with the flow on the encryption, and, for this use case, it's 
FiSHLiM.


thanks,

Thufir
