Oh. Yes. use get_hash to get a HashFunction*, or if you're using a
fixed hash you can just instantiate it directly (a SHA_160 or
whatever).

Primitive ciphers (eg, AES) can be used as BlockCipher* (from
Botan::get_block_cipher) or named (Botan::AES) in ECB mode. The
cipher mode implementations all use the filter/pipe code.
