Hi Marco,

Speedups for libtommath would be of interest. I guess the
easiest way would be to email me off-list with a patch or
a set of the relevant files? I won't guarantee that I'll include 
the changes (given I haven't dealt with the LibTomMath code 
much in depth) though it sounds useful. I'm not 100% sure 
whether Tom is still interested in work on LibTom* 
or not - the releases page suggests not.

Cheers,
Matt
