If people are open to having the J-PAKE building blocks in FreeBL,
then we wouldn't need MPI to be part of the public API. The main concern
with putting J-PAKE building blocks in NSS is getting that NSS release
out for FF4.0.
The MPI option is not a bad option, having an efficient bignums
implementation available would probably be useful for several people.
You want it exported so you can call from js-ctypes ?
In fact, making this library and bignums available to all javascript
would be useful. Brendan happens to be currently thinking about it
http://brendaneich.com/2010/10/should-js-have-bignums/ but it certainly
won't happen soon.
