Thanks for the proposal, having a maintainer that actually uses the
package will be a real improvement over the current situation!

I had a look and indeed, rbutil really needs crypto++:

  https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=dbeb6db1b55a50dedf17e7d78ddb6fe9eebc2a63
  https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=8b3f5a8ad7434850804a4a664d2b07c6ffa9b1c7
  https://git.rockbox.org/?p=rockbox.git;a=commit;h=759a78e5dff134f2632875f61aae60815eea6f5b

So, if you want to keep rbutil, crypto++ should indeed stay in our
repositories as well.
