Changes between 0.9.7g and 0.9.7h [XX xxx XXXX]
*) Make a new fixed-window mod_exp implementation the default for
RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations to mitigate the
hyper-threading timing attacks pointed out by Colin Percival
(http://www.daemonology.net/hyperthreading-considered-harmful/),
and potential related attacks.
RSA, DSA, and DH private-key operations so that the sequence of
squares and multiplies and the memory access pattern are
independent of the particular secret key. This will mitigate
cache-timing and potential related attacks.
BN_mod_exp_mont_consttime() is the new exponentiation implementation,
and this is automatically used by BN_mod_exp_mont() if the new flag
