@smuellerDD Stephan, this is turning to be more complicated than anticipated, because of the API boundary between nettle and gnutls.  Specifically, nettle doesn't expose meta information such as curve order from the ECC API, and it cannot represent infinity point on curves. 

I've worked those around by hard-coding the curve orders and using the group law that adding opposite points results in an infinity point.  Could you check if those are acceptable?
