[erlang-patches] new version elliptic curve support

Hi,

I have tested with various openssl versions and the earliest to
pass the crypto test is 0.9.8o. I have adjusted the ifdef's
in crypto to take that and then NO_ECDH and NO_ECDSA defines
into account. I've also discovered a bug where an EC cipher was
chosen when the certificate was actually not compatible with
it.

Update version is here:

git fetch git://github.com/RoadRunnr/otp.git tls-psk-srp-suites-ECC

https://github.com/RoadRunnr/otp/compare/master...tls-psk-srp-suites-ECC
https://github.com/RoadRunnr/otp/compare/master...tls-psk-srp-suites-ECC.patch


In case anybody is interested, I also have an very early version of
AES-GCM cipher support (not for -pu inclusion yet):
