Yes I think so..

I don't think so.. glad you're working on it!

By the way, our code has been tested with MPPC before.  We had a
demo version of the Hi/Fn (formerly Stac) implementation to play
with, but eventually we decided not to go with it. So theoretically
ng_mppc.c should already work OK, modulo possible bit rot.
