+ *) Add lots of checks for memory allocation failure, error codes to indicate
+ failure and freeing up memory if a failure occurs.

+
+ *) Add new -passin argument to dgst.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Perform some character comparisons of different types in X509_NAME_cmp:
+ this is needed for some certificates that reencode DNs into UTF8Strings
+ (in violation of RFC3280) and can't or wont issue name rollover
+ certificates.
+ [Steve Henson]
+
+ *) Make an explicit check during certificate validation to see that
+ the CA setting in each certificate on the chain is correct. As a
+ side effect always do the following basic checks on extensions,
+ not just when there's an associated purpose to the check:
+
+ - if there is an unhandled critical extension (unless the user
+ has chosen to ignore this fault)
+ - if the path length has been exceeded (if one is set at all)
+ - that certain extensions fit the associated purpose (if one has
+ been given)

*) Avoid a race condition when CRLs are checked in a multi threaded
environment. This would happen due to the reordering of the revoked
