Thanks for your interest!

So do I.  I looked tests/ directory but I couldn't found where I
could add a unittest for the new code.  Is there any conventional
stub code for cipher tests in libgcrypt?

Yup.  RFC4269 includes four set of test vectors in its appendix B:
 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4269.txt
I used the 3rd one for selftest() routine in the patch.

I'd like to provide it in public domain and let libgcrypt project
relicense or do whatever it needs.  I updated the patch.  Is it
enough for the statement?
