dropbear and external libtommath and libtomcrypt

[Farrell Aultman]

The web site is still up, but the project doesn't appear to be
actively maintained.  Last log entry was in 2007.  I read a while back
that Tom got a job.
http://libtom.org/?page=features&whatfile=crypt

Only what's actually used is compiled into the dropbear executable, so
it the tom libs don't add much to the file size.

If you still want to do this, the Tom libs have their own Makefiles.
One could start there and build the shared libraries.  Then one would
need to link to them from the dropbear Makefile.
