Support Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC), for ECDH and ECDSA

[GoogleCodeExporter]

OpenSSH 5.7 includes support for Elliptic Curve Cryptography, and implements 
ECC for both host keys and user keys.

  [1]: http://openssh.com/txt/release-5.7

OpenSSH 5.7 (or later) is beginning to enter mainstream distributions and it'd 
be nice if ConnectBot both accepted ECC host keys and the creation and use of 
ECC user keys.

One of the purported benefits of ECC is that key sizes are smaller and 
computational complexity is less, so they may perform better on constrained 
platforms.

I'd love anything that'd make ConnectBot perform better.

+1 ! I've also been trying to use ECDSA keys in connectbot, but it's not 
supported
