  *) Facilitate "universal" ARM builds targeting range of ARM ISAs, e.g.

     ARMv5 through ARMv8, as opposite to "locking" it to single one.

     So far those who have to target multiple plaforms would compromise

     and argue that binary targeting say ARMv5 would still execute on

     ARMv8. "Universal" build resolves this compromise by providing

     near-optimal performance even on newer platforms.

     [Andy Polyakov]



  *) Accelerated NIST P-256 elliptic curve implementation for x86_64

     (other platforms pending).
