Regarding those issues, I uploaded a new version of eccrypto with only cryptohash-sha512 as a non-boot dependency. Since hackage-security already depends on cryptohash-sha256 with its low depency footprint, I thought it most prudent to go that route. Of course, the new code is also analysed like the one from last release. Documentation will follow, as well as scientific review. Only the last part - being more mature than the ref10 C code - my code will never be. ;-) >However, I still think that we could accept a patch adding support for >eccrypto as a compile-time option (not enabled by default). I'll also start looking into making a patch for hackage-security for review.
