need both encryption and decryption using the same AES key.

* Key generation for RSA and DSA changed to use Maurer's
algorithm to generate provably prime numbers (as usual, the
mathematical proof does not guaranteee that the
implementation is bug free).
* x86_64 assembler implementation actually included in the
distribution (was accidentally left out in nettle-2.0).
* Configure script now detects if the compiler uses a 32-bit
