I still think it would be appropriate with some more context for the
Nettle name, just "gc256b" is a bit too terse and obscure. Try doing a
web search for it. Some alternatives:

  nettle_get_gost_gc256b
  nettle_get_gost_curve_256b
  nettle_get_tls_gc256b

I can merge the support as is, but it would be good to agree on name
before release (and perhaps before adapting the gnutls code, to avoid
another renaming hassle there).
