Thank you, thank you, thank you! Grabbed the src from DEC, built it in a
jiffy, and voila! It is EXACTLY what I was looking for. FYI - I did some
additional poking around and found this, which describes making x2x more
secure:

Tim,
It was designed by DEC (Digital) back in '97 and can still be found at:
ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/SRC/x2x/
Dunno if it still works, but it's worth a try ;-).
Cheers,
Nicholas
