    This is an algorithm alleged to be Rivest&#8217;s RC4 encryption function.
    It is a pseudo-random number generator with a 256 byte state and
    a long cycle. The input buffer is XOR&#8217;d with the output of the
    generator both to encrypt and to decrypt. The seed, entered using
    <i>setupRC4state</i>, can be any length. The generator can
    be run forward using <i>rc4</i>, skip over bytes using <i>rc4skip</i> to account
    lost transmissions, or run backwards using <i>rc4back</i> to cover retransmitted
    data. The <i>RC4state</i> structure keeps track of the algorithm.<br>
