neither :-)  in case you missed the announcement, you can read about the 
merge of GNU Crypto with GNU Classpath here:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-crypto-discuss/2006-01/msg00004.html

the GNU Classpath home page is at:

http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/

and its coding style, which we all try to follow, is described here:

http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/docs/hacking.html#SEC7

the classes are the same but had their packages renamed to better fit 
the GNU Classpath requirements.  you should find CVS checkout 
instructions on the GNU Classpath home page.
