wiz bc19fc6484 Update to 2.09, provided by Shell Hung in pkg/14695.
Changes since 2.06:
- changed keysize back to 0 apparently setting keysize to 8 triggered a bad
  hack in Crypt::CBC which resulted in OpenSRS breaking.
  the "bad hack" in question is:
  $ks = $cipher =~ /blowfish/i ? 56 : 8 unless $ks > 0;
  ... anyway.. fixed.
- added two new functions:  min_keysize and max_keysize
  these allow modules like Crypt::CBC_IL and Crypt::CBC_R
  to use variable key lengths with CBC modes.
- cleaned up test.pl
- updated README
- minor change in XS
- additions to reported platforms
Remove package version number from DESCR.

This is Crypt::Blowfish, an XS-based implementation of the Blowfish
cryptography algorithm designed by Bruce Schneier. It's designed
to take full advantage of Crypt::CBC when desired. Blowfish keys
may be up to 448 bits (56 bytes) long.
Suggests to have Crypt::CBC module installed.
