Hi again,
this weekend there was (among other things) another release of hecc,
the Elliptic Curve Cryptography Library for Haskell, to be found at

http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hecc
(or simply by "cabal install hecc")

This release of hecc uses a new library (hF2), which abstracts the
whole F(2^e). Please refer to that library for more information.
With this release, the whole functionality of hecc should be usable
again and the F2-using functions should be a bit faster now (but: not
fast per se, especially if compared against other implementations).
Feel free to play around with it and try to make it faster, I plan to
do the same. ;-)

As always: It is in development and may change, expect only crypto-api
instances to be somewhat stable (someday).

A fresh start into the new week,
Marcel

A good library is preferable to a tool, except when you just need that
one tool.
