+A simple implementation of the RC4 algorithm, developed by RSA
+Security, Inc. Here is the description from RSA's website:
+
+RC4 is a stream cipher designed by Rivest for RSA Data Security
+(now RSA Security). It is a variable key-size stream cipher with
+byte-oriented operations. The algorithm is based on the use of a
+random permutation. Analysis shows that the period of the cipher
+is overwhelmingly likely to be greater than 10100. Eight to sixteen
+machine operations are required per output byte, and the cipher can
+be expected to run very quickly in software. Independent analysts
+have scrutinized the algorithm and it is considered secure.
+
+Based substantially on the "RC4 in 3 lines of perl" found at
+http://www.cypherspace.org
+
+WWW: http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Crypt-RC4
