The std.stream deprecation has been fixed and I've pushed the code to 
implement Botan, but the tests fail on a SegFault inside Botan in the 
PEM export functions. AES/Hash/HMAC/PBKDF2/RNG work. On OSX you need to 
use LDC or the linker will fail.

Tracking issue for the segfault: https://github.com/etcimon/botan/issues/25
