The "_CRYPTO_SIGN_ED25519" macro will be defined if support is present
for EC keys.

+As of writing, producing EC key materials is not well supported
+by the major libraries. GnuTLS 3.6.0 can create a private key:
+.code
+certtool --generate-privkey --key-type=ed25519 --outfile=dkim_ed25519.private
+.endd
+
+To help in producing the required public key value for a DNS record
+the release package &_util/_& directory contains source for a utility
+buildable with GnuTLS 3.6.0;
+use it like this:
+.code
+ed25519_privkey_pem_to_pubkey_raw_b64 dkim_ed25519.private
