That would presumably be the one in the .icn file mkwdmacl. To use
that I'd have to substitute something for the preprocessor calls.
OTOH the machine-generated wrdsig01 was the fastest yet in ratio

Am now cursing myself for posting the original enquiry, breaking the
golden rule: save this kind of thing for when life is in coasting
mode. In compensation will read no more email for the next few
decades.
Spinoffs:
(1) "Enigmatist" of the New Scientist shall have the entire thread
by Royal Mail. Revenge is sweet.
(2) You may use any language you like on Icon-group so long as
(i) your street cred is immense, (ii) it isn't Ada, Basic or C
(3) Some *very* nice Icon tricks demonstrated, much appreciated.
