[AG-TECH] Open Mash still in process?

[Ivan R. Judson]

Nope.

Since OpenMash isn't using UCL's lib common for security or the RTP stack
rijndael isn't available. There are obviously two directions this could go,
copy the implementation from common to OpenMash, or (the one I'd like to
see) is move OpenMash to use lib common for RTP, Security, and expose the
Mbus stuff.
