I want to get the gears rolling towards the next M2Crypto release (0.14
perhaps, but not yet sure).

In this M2Crypto release:

* Support for OpenSSL up to 0.9.8
* Support for SWIG 1.3.24
* Support for Python 2.4
* Twisted integration
* Eliminated C pointers from interfaces (some may still remain in callbacks)
* Many cases where Python interpreter crashed have been fixed
* Improved thread safety of many callbacks
* Memory leak fixes
* And of course more of the OpenSSL API is covered, new docstrings and
tests have been written

This is a call for people to test the Subversion revision number 310,
which is the release candidate. To get the source, do this:

svn co -r 310 http://svn.osafoundation.org/m2crypto/trunk m2

Please report on this list if you think there are any blockers for this
release.

Also, please respond with information about the configurations where
this release works or does not work. I have personally tested with the
following:

* Windows XP
  - Cygwin 1.5.18
  - Cygwin OpenSSL 0.9.8
  - Cygwin SWIG 1.3.24
  - Cygwin Python 2.4

* Debian (testing)
  - OpenSSL 0.9.7e
  - SWIG 1.3.24
  - Python 2.3.5


Changes since release candidate 1:

* Support OpenSSL 0.9.8
* Commented out X509_check_ca which is not supported in all OpenSSL
0.9.7 versions
