Dropbear's bundled libtomcrypt includes a variety of whitespace and
comment changes that make it non-trivial to compare the actual
differences between the codebases.

I'm not going to work on adapting the upstream patch for Dropbear, but
of course others are welcome to do it :) Otherwise I assume the Dropbear
team will include the fixes whenever they make a new release.
