mhash/libmcrypt: separate -devel package for library ?

I have also everything in one package for expat, but expat was very
stable the last years and it a really small package.  It is usually
the better choice to split it up into runtime and devel packages and
also no bad idea to package the docs separate (this is what we do e.g.
with db2/db3/db4).

HTH,
Gerrit
