[openssl.org #1936] enhancement request - X509V3_EXT_get_nid

[Libor Krystek via RT]

Hi,

I need to use a bit different definition of one of existing extension 
methods. I have done it by putting the changed method in "ext_list" by 
function "X509V3_EXT_add". Unfortunately I have found that function 
"X509V3_EXT_get_nid" seeks through "standard_exts" first and only then 
through "ext_list", so  the standard method is found first, and the 
changed one is never used, so changes described in attachment are necessary.

Is changing the order possible or even planned?

Best regards,
Libor Krystek
