:) You also need to replace skeleton --> mscrypto and SKELETON -> 
MSCRYPTO as well :)

Good!

There is only a mapping  in symbols.h. You need to create these 
transforms by yourself.
This is exactly what xmlsec-crypto library is supposed to do. Please 
check the OpenSSL/GnuTLS/NSS
code for examples. I'll try to write some documentation in next couple 
days, hope this will help.

Good, very good news! A lot of people have asked about MSCrypto support.

I am planing to do a 1.0 release very soon and I would prefer to limit 
the checkins to the main tree
right now. Probably before checking in new crypto library it would be 
nice to create basic infrastructure
for MSCrypto support (seems you already very close with it) and few 
simple transforms similar to
what was implemented for NSS and GnuTLS (sha1, hmac, des, aes transforms 
and keys). For now
I would like to review the code before checking in so just send me 
patches against the current CVS trunk
(cvs -z3 diff -u -N will do but you need to add all new files first).

The only thing you need is to implement MS Crypto for Linux :) :) :)
