[python-crypto] Add AES to amkCrypto?

[PC Drew]

I totally agree.  That's why I suggested an crypto-sig...mostly to
develop a standard API.  In addition to that, I think that it is
important to also develop an abstraction layer to go with the API so
that, not only do things look the same, but if you wanted to go from
one algorithm to another, it would be very easy.

If anyone is interested in defining this with me, please email me and
I'll get a list together and we can start hashing this out.  I'm also
interested in doing the same thing with compression libraries, and I'd
like some feedback on that as well.
