- +) Function EC_POINTs_mul for simultaneous scalar multiplication
- of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points, optionally
- including the generator defined for the EC_GROUP.

+ of an arbitrary number of elliptic curve points
+ \sum scalars[i]*points[i],

EC_POINT_mul is a simple wrapper function for the typical case
that the point list has just one item (besides the optional
generator).
