   ...which is exactly why I said that project is a joke and not worth 
my time, and I refuse to take part in it.

   I did RC5-56, because there was a point to it.  There was very little 
point to RC5-64, and there's no point at all to RC5-72...unless of 
course they're trying to prove to the US Gov't that a 72-bit cipher is 
"secure enough".
