Hi,

thanks for the patch.  I pushed it.

I would like to get libgcrypt 1.7 out soon.  The following topics need
to be addressed before a release:

- Addition of a new DRNG to replace or the X9.31 RNG we use for in FIPS
  mode.  Quite some time ago Stephan Mueller posted an implementation
  which can be used for this.

- Add a test to check our Curve25519 implementation against the test
  vectors from RFC-7748 (Elliptic Curves for Security).

- Check that all constant-time improvements gniibe posted are applied.

- Check whether there are important things left in the bug tracker.


Shalom-Salam,

   Werner
