The Libgcrypt SVN now has experimental support for ECDSA.  It is still
not finished and we need to do something about the performance:

Algorithm       generate  100*sign  100*verify
----------------------------------------------
DSA 1024/160           -     910ms       810ms
DSA 2048/224           -    1560ms      1850ms
DSA 3072/256           -    3630ms      4410ms
ECDSA 192 bit      110ms    2720ms      5090ms
ECDSA 256 bit      130ms    3010ms      6070ms
ECDSA 521 bit      910ms   23140ms     48090ms
