[GNU Crypto] Adding new block ciphers; encrypt() not defined anywhere?

[Morgon Kanter]

Hello,

I'm currently in the process of trying to add block ciphers to GNU 
Crypto, and I've run across something I've found to be a bit odd.

Every block cipher's function encryptBlock() and decryptBlock() call the 
functions encrypt() and decrypt(), as defined in the BaseBlockCipher 
class, which every block cipher extends. However, encrypt() and 
decrypt() are left to be defined to the children. So, would it make 
sense to add something like:

protected abstract void encrypt(parameters);
protected abstract void decrypt(parameters);

to the BaseBlockCipher class? It just seems to me like a strange 
omission.
