+Libmcrypt is a thread-safe library providing a uniform interface
+to access several block and stream encryption algorithms.
+Check the manual page for more information on libmcrypt.
+
+Look at COPYING for license information and the individual files for more 
+information. COPYING applies only for the mcrypt program and not the 
+algorithms which most of them are public domain.

+**
+** Some hints:
+
+Since 2.5.4 libmcrypt does not use dynamic loading for the modules by default.
+All the algorithms and modes, are now included in the library. To enable
+the old dynamic loading behaviour use the --enable-dynamic-loading in the
+configure script.
+
+That way you can statically link the library and be 100% thread safe,
+since dlopen is not always thread safe.
+
+You can also enable dynamic loading and include some algorithms into the
+library. To include algorithms in the library use the
+--with-included-algos parameter in the configure script.
+Eg: ./configure --with-included-algos="rijndael-128 arcfour stream cbc cfb"
