NIST Update

[Jerry DeLisle <jvdelisle at verizon dot net>]

Hi All,

I have finished the script for NIST testing using diff to compare previous 
results in a reference file with newly computed results.

In the process I discovered 4 latent failures had existed that we did not catch 
by inspection before when I established my initial reference set.  I manually 
checked the results of those four tests and confirmed that we are getting them 
correct now.

I suspect some of our very recent bug fixes in the library set those straight. 
(Which is good)

So I have reset the reference files for those four cases.

The only thing I have remaining is to address CRLF differences.  I do not know 
if diff will see these so I will need to have someone run this on one of those 
machines.  The script uses bash so if you use a different shell you may need to 
adjust.

Attached tar ball for your testing enjoyment.  Significant portions of the 
script derived from one developed by Paul Thomas which i then refined on.

Once we get this worked over by everyone, we can post to the wiki.  Comments and 
suggestions welcome.

Best Regards.

Jerry
