Skill hacking away...

  Step 1: Get it to work.
     Mostly done.  Some things need doing still, but it's looking good.

  Step 2: Get it to work *fast*
    Removed big chunks of CPU time for a simple clear-text password test

  In some cases, hashes are faster than trees (read: constantly changing
data).  In others, trees are faster than hashes (data that doesn't
change).  And caching pointers makes the code a little more complicated,
but much faster.

  Right now it's about 20% faster than 1.x for the same test.
