Did you send this patch? I did not see it in the mailing list...
Anyway, I like the idea of allowing the user to store variable size data (I was storing 8-byte data).
So I have sent a v3 with a more similar method, although I still use the new functions,
and use the parameter data_len for knowing the amount of bytes of data, and I keep constant the input key,
and return the data in another parameter.

Thanks for it!
Pablo
