Utilities

	This directory contains various random poorly-documented tools
	which are useful to maintainers of the software.

	Don't put this stuff in the distribution until it's much better.

ecptdecompress.c
	Compile (using qcc) to ecptd.  Run
		ecptd CURVE R H G
	where CURVE is a curve-spec, R and H are the curve's order and
	cofactor, and G is the common point in standard point
	representation, hybrid, compressed or uncomressed.  It either
	prints an error indicating that the curve or point was bad, or a
	chunk to be inserted into ectab.in.

ecentry-prettify.pl
	Run 
		ecentry-prettify.pl NAME FIELD-TYPE
	and enter P, A, B, R, H and G by pasting from some appropriate
	standard, terminating each one by a `.' on its own line.
	Spacing and punctuation in each is stripped. and ecptdecompress
	is run to format the whole thing into a nice ectab.in chunk.
