Bug Description

PyPy is apparently becoming a big thing in the Python world. Make sure PyCrypto works with it.

It might even be worth benchmarking some pure-python cipher implementations.

Hmm. It builds (and the tests pass) if I modify setup.py to skip building _fastmath, but almost everything is slower (sometimes significantly slower---key setup for Crypto.Cipher.* is about an order of magnitude slower), according to pct-speedtest.py.
