[pycrypto] Build error?

[Martin Falatic]

Consider the following rather basic but important bug in pycrypto:

https://github.com/dlitz/pycrypto/issues/187

As you'll see there, I stumbled on it and even built a fixed version a few
months ago.

Revisiting this now, I just re-tested to see that pycryptodome already has
that fix in it.

Your mileage may vary, but pycryptodome is being actively developed and
maintained and is a drop-in replacement for pycrypto.
