Crypt-Sodium version 0.12

Simple wrapper around NaCL functions as provided by libsodium. crypto_box, crypto_stream, crypto_hash, and crypto_sign are all present and accounted for. None of the specific implementations are exposed, only the default implementations are, so please refer to your version of libsodium's release notes if you need to know what implementation you are using.

An attempt to adhere to the API provided by libsodium (inspired by NaCL) is made, but is broken wherever an opportunity to be 'perlish' presented itself. Don't expect to have to pass in or keep track of ciphertext or message lengths. Should the convenience of the Perl API frustrate you, please note that the real versions of the corresponding functions are available with the real_ prefix. e.g. real_crypto_stream_xor()

A crude attempt to detect your version of libsodium using pkg-config and by inspecting canonical dirs is made. Falls back to the minimum level of support - 1.0.8. To troubleshoot feature detection run:

perl Makefile.PL verbose
