dropbear with external libtommath/libtomcrypt

[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

We've recently received patches in Buildroot (http://buildroot.org) to
build libtommath/libtomcrypt (statically) seperately and link dropbear
against those instead of the bundled copies.

In general we prefer to use system libraries instead of bundled versions
whenever possible, but as dropbear is security sensitive I wanted to
check before making the change.

I see that the bundled copies contain local changes. What is the
pro/cons of using the bundled versions vs external?
