New description:

 At the 2nd Tahoe Summit, we hashed out a [https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac
 /tahoe-lafs/wiki/Summit2Day1#signatureconsensus plan] for Accounting that
 starts with adding Ed25519 signatures to pycryptopp. (Crypto++ doesn't yet
 include Ed25519, so the plan involves putting a separate copy of the
 Ed25519 C code into pycryptopp, adding Python bindings to it, and then
 replacing that C code with calls into Crypto++'s version once it shows
 up).

 I've got a patch here against 0.5.29 that embeds a copy of my
 [https://github.com/warner/python-ed25519 python-ed25519] library (version
 0.7) into pycryptopp, including unit tests, power-on self-tests, and a
 subset of the Known Answer Tests that complete in about 1.0s .
