I don't know what you mean by "the C++ code" ... what's in sha1.cc
is precisely what's in the RFC, with local style modifications done
by me.

Again, I don't know what you mean here.

It already says it's adapted from RFC 3174.  We can add "Copyright 2001
The Internet Society", though.

I think I've seen similar things in bind9 where code is incorporated from
RFC's without a copyright attribution; if this is a concern then perhaps it
should be followed up there.
