+ Nettle. Thanks to Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos. To easily

+ * Fix corner-case carry propagation bugs affecting elliptic

+ certain platforms, including x86_64. Reported by Hanno Böck.
New features:
+ * New functions for RSA private key operations, identified by
+ the "_tr" suffix, with better resistance to side channel
+ attacks and to hardware or software failures which could
+ break the CRT optimization. See the Nettle manual for
+ details. Initial patch by Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos.

* New functions nettle_version_major, nettle_version_minor, as
a run-time variant of the compile-time constants
NETTLE_VERSION_MAJOR and NETTLE_VERSION_MINOR.
