-/*----- Revision history --------------------------------------------------* 
- *
- * $Log: ec.h,v $
- * Revision 1.9  2004/04/01 12:50:09  mdw
- * Add cyclic group abstraction, with test code.  Separate off exponentation
- * functions for better static linking.  Fix a buttload of bugs on the way.
- * Generally ensure that negative exponents do inversion correctly.  Add
- * table of standard prime-field subgroups.  (Binary field subgroups are
- * currently unimplemented but easy to add if anyone ever finds a good one.)
- *
- * Revision 1.8  2004/03/27 17:54:11  mdw
- * Standard curves and curve checking.
- *
- * Revision 1.7  2004/03/23 15:19:32  mdw
- * Test elliptic curves more thoroughly.
- *
- * Revision 1.6  2004/03/22 02:19:10  mdw
- * Rationalise the sliding-window threshold.  Drop guarantee that right
- * arguments to EC @add@ are canonical, and fix up projective implementations
- * to cope.
- *
- * Revision 1.5  2004/03/21 22:52:06  mdw
- * Merge and close elliptic curve branch.
- *
- * Revision 1.4.4.3  2004/03/21 22:39:46  mdw
- * Elliptic curves on binary fields work.
- *
- * Revision 1.4.4.2  2004/03/20 00:13:31  mdw
- * Projective coordinates for prime curves
- *
- * Revision 1.4.4.1  2003/06/10 13:43:53  mdw
- * Simple (non-projective) curves over prime fields now seem to work.
- *
- * Revision 1.4  2003/05/15 23:25:59  mdw
- * Make elliptic curve stuff build.
- *
- * Revision 1.3  2002/01/13 13:48:44  mdw
- * Further progress.
- *
- * Revision 1.2  2001/05/07 17:29:44  mdw
- * Treat projective coordinates as an internal representation.  Various
- * minor interface changes.
- *
- * Revision 1.1  2001/04/29 18:12:33  mdw
- * Prototype version.
