I don't recall any proposal for that. While I'd like to see support for MD5 and related algorithms in Boost, I don't think this implementation has an acceptable license (because of the RSA clause).
I worked on an independent implementation a while back, for my own use. If there is interest, I can find the code and toss it in the vault.
It might be preferable to just use Botan http://botan.randombit.net/ It has a number of crypto algorithms, and optimizing these things is quite hard. However, I don't know that the author would be interested in being assimilated by the boost collective. Cheers, Walter
