Gaah.

When there are improvements/fixes to the sha1ppc.S side, how are you going to keep that in sync with darwin_ppc_gen.pl? If that script *_gen.pl were a postprocessor that munges CPP output from sha1ppc.S to make it assemblable with an old assembler, it would be one thing. But this looks horrible.
