*poof* Okay, I'll be the CFS maintainer :)

The change is only to cmkdir, which creates the crypted directories. cattach
recognizes the encryption scheme and chooses the right decoding/encoding
scheme automagically. Of course, Blowfish is as secure as 3DES, and for me
goes at 2MB/s, whereas 3DES decrypts/encrypts at about 300KB/s. I'll make
the changes =)
