gardners 499c4018bf Imported ref10/ implementation of crypto_sign from supercop-20120525
as recommended a while back by Dan Bernstein as offering the fastest
implementation of the crypto_sign() primitives for ARM.
Indeed this implementation IS faster. See comparison below for a
Rock 500 handset (800MHz(?) ARM6, no NEON):

Original ref/ implementation on an R500 stock rom (non-rooted)::
mean signature generation time = 96.80ms
mean signature verification time = 272.20ms

ref10/ implementations on an R500 stock rom (non-rooted):
mean signature generation time = 4.00ms
mean signature verification time = 13.00ms

Approximately 20x speed up, just like that :)
