Elliptic curve modules have been enabled recently in Fedora

So perhaps bitcoin can go to Fedora

I have built RPMs for Fedora 19, and have used them for a while.
Before
starting to "lint" the SPEC with packaging guidelines, is anyone already
working on this?
I am also starting the namecoin RPM tonight. Namecoin is perhaps more
interesting than bitcoin, as it is a distributed DNS registry that does not
require a root server.
Both require elliptic curve modules in openssl - which is the main reason
why they can't go in Fedora at the moment.
