Good catch; I've just updated OPAM with Cryptokit 1.7.

Vincent, I'd strongly recommend submitting patches like the SHA-256 ones 
upstream to Xavier to review, as a crypto library isn't something to fork 
lightly.  Having said that, I've been sitting on some DSA patches since 2006, 
so I'll also do the same :-)
