Hi!

So this crate in wonderful and helped a lot some time ago.

Said that, newest commit in this project dates from 5 years ago. Sometimes, when searching things like "scrypt rust" in search engines you get this repository as first result, which is dangerous as it wasn't maintained for 5 year now. See also: https://rustsec.org/advisories/RUSTSEC-2016-0005.html

I think at least this project can show a deprecation warning in the Readme in order to point to https://github.com/RustCrypto/ which is properly maintained.

Hope this PR comes well.
And thanks for all the Job done on this crate.

The @rustsec project has filed RUSTSEC-2016-0005 as an advisory that rust-crypto is unmaintained.

The advisory suggests several alternatives.
