Like Richard said, if there's no other app that uses ECC, I think this
is the right approach.
libaacs is probably not the only app that would benefit from ECC
support. For example, openssh, bitcoin, some digital certificates are
using ECC... There are propably others examples, but I've not done an
extended research on the matter. And one would need to make -freeworld
version of at least openssl, libgcrypt and possibly more do have full
coverage.
Anyway, could anyone give some pointers or even spec file for bundling
and static linking ? I'd like to take a look before trying the same for
libaacs.
