If SEC_OID_CURVE25519 was a #define then a build time test would be
easy.  Alas, it's an enum.
So without sucking in autoconf, is there some official proxy for this.
If all else fails there should be a version number in the header.

While NSS has what I'll loosely describe as its ABI guarantee and this
magic should work.  I'd rather to not go there.

I'm more comfortable with building against version X and only accept
version >=X at runtime.
