 We should contribute some development effort to making it easier to cross-
 compile and distribute binaries from nacl. The "libsodium" effort here is
 interesting, but it achieves its results by dropping all the fast assembly
 implementations from nacl (with the intention of adding them later).

 See #8014 for more discussion.  See http://nacl.cr.yp.to/ and
 https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium for the libraries in question.

 I'm putting this in the "Tor" component because Tor's the one that wants
 to use this stuff.
