  Description     : Optimized C library for EC operations on curve secp256k1

This is currently a prerequisite for cpp-ethereum ( # 860434 ).

There is an open issue for upstream to replace it with the version that
is already in debian, libsecp256k1
( https://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum/issues/3207 ), but as it stands it's
currently built on this EC-specific fork.

This library was a work in progress before upstream stopped developing it and
is being used to research best practices. Use at your own risk.

Features:
 secp256k1 ECDSA signing/verification and key generation.
 Adding/multiplying private/public keys.
 Serialization/parsing of private keys, public keys, signatures.
 Constant time, constant memory access signing and pubkey generation.
 Derandomized DSA (via RFC6979 or with a caller provided function.)
 Very efficient implementation.

This is unmaintained and the blocked RFP should not be worked on anymore.
The still maintained original libsecp256k1 is in Debian so no need for this to be open.
