FWIW, there's no reason to wait for me to finish NIO support in  
Jessie, because that won't be ready for some time.

There is a bug fix release of Jessie out now (1.0.1) and a new  
version of GNU Crypto will be released approximately "when I get  
around to it." A release candidate is currently available [1].

There should be no reason why importing either of these would present  
any significant problems; Jessie can be used as-is, and GNU Crypto  
may be used with some of the bits that aren't needed trimmed away.
