A general remark about all this: if we see it in a bigger CACE etc. context
it seems to me we should not use lots of energy on integrating some library.
WP2 in CACE is supposed to provide this kind of stuff for us, and even with an
interface we can influence and with security against side channels. If you find
something that's easy to integrate it may be fine to have something to play
with, but the next half year, I think time is better spent on integration with
WP2.
