According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1
there is an alternate formulation for the FUNC1 transform,
namely
f1 = d xor (b and (c xor d))
instead of
f1 = (b and c) or ((not b) and d)
This reduces the instruction count of FUNC1 from 6 to 4 and
makes about 5% speed improvement on amd64 and suprisingly 17%
on 386.
