+We've made the following changes to the stock ed25519_ref10 from
+supercop-20140622:
+
+   * We added the necessary glue to provide integers of fixed bit
+     sizes, SHA512, and to compile without warnings everywhere we need
+     to build.
+
+   * Secret keys are stored in expanded format.  There are functions
+     to expand them from the 32-byte seed.
+
+   * Signatures are made and processed detached from the messages that
+     they sign.  (In other words, we support "make signature" and
+     "check signature", not "create signed message" and "check and
+     unpack signed message".)
+
+   * There's an implementation of 'convert a curve25519 key to an
+     ed25519 key' so we can do cross-certification with curve25519 keys.
+     (keyconv.c)
+
+   * There's an implementation of multiplicative key blinding so we
+     can use it for next-gen hidden srevice descriptors. (blinding.c)
