I agree.

Heh, sorry about this. I believe this may a case where something that fails
silently previously now raises an exception because of proper error
checking. The problem is not in the apparently-failing call. I need to dig
around a bit.

To all who will contribute code (or have in the past), please feel free to
add your copyright notices as Heikki as done here.

I do ask that you agree to put your code under M2Crypto's very liberal
license.

Um, haven't asked Heikki yet. ;-) Heikki, okay with the licensing?

Peter Teniz, who contributed most of the new X509 stuff in 0.13, has sent
me more code. I think there is some overlap in functionality between
Peter's code and Heikki's patches here. I'll try to spend the next several
evenings integrating the patches.

Thanks again. Cheers.
