functions.

* mpi_init() and mpi_free() now only accept a single MPI
argument and do not accept variable argument lists anymore.
* The error codes have been remapped and combining error codes
is now done with a PLUS instead of an OR as error codes
used are negative.
* Changed behaviour of net_read(), ssl_fetch_input() and ssl_recv().
net_recv() now returns 0 on EOF instead of
POLARSSL_ERR_NET_CONN_RESET. ssl_fetch_input() returns
POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF on an EOF from its f_recv() function.
ssl_read() returns 0 if a POLARSSL_ERR_SSL_CONN_EOF is received
after the handshake.
* Network functions now return POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_READ or
POLARSSL_ERR_NET_WANT_WRITE instead of the ambiguous
POLARSSL_ERR_NET_TRY_AGAIN

for the RSAES-OAEP and RSASSA-PSS operations.

functionality as well.

with random data (Fixed ticket #10)
Changes

does not zeroize memory in advance anymore. Use rsa_init()
before parsing a key or keyfile!
Bugfix
* Debug output of MPI's now the same independent of underlying
platform (32-bit / 64-bit) (Fixes ticket #19, found by Mads
Kiilerich and Mihai Militaru)
* Fixed bug in ssl_write() when flushing old data (Fixed ticket
#18, found by Nikolay Epifanov)
