I know it’s not out yet but I want to put it here so we don’t forget. OpenSSL 1.0.2 finally brings brainpool curves that seem to be [slightly better](http://jbp.io/2013/09/09/tls128-profile/) than the NIST ones. We should support them conditionally, making it easy to detect their presence. E.g. I totally want to use them in pyOpenSSL/Twisted once they’re out.
