101 * Arguments: @mpcrt *c@ = pointer to CRT context
102 * @mp *d@ = fake destination
103 * @mp **v@ = array of residues
105 * Returns: The unique solution modulo the product of the individual
106 * moduli, which leaves the given residues.
108 * Use: Constructs a result given its residue modulo an array of
109 * coprime integers. This can be used to improve performance of
110 * RSA encryption or Blum-Blum-Shub generation if the factors
111 * of the modulus are known, since results can be computed mod
112 * each of the individual factors and then combined at the end.
113 * This is rather faster than doing the full-scale modular
