33 * Revision 1.1 2004/04/01 12:50:09 mdw
34 * Add cyclic group abstraction, with test code. Separate off exponentation
35 * functions for better static linking. Fix a buttload of bugs on the way.
36 * Generally ensure that negative exponents do inversion correctly. Add
37 * table of standard prime-field subgroups. (Binary field subgroups are
38 * currently unimplemented but easy to add if anyone ever finds a good one.)
