>Verifying is a complex process

Now *there's* an understatement. :)  The IETF PKIX draft update to the
cert/CRL profile takes 20 pages to specify "path validation."  See ch6 of
http://www.imc.org/draft-ietf-pkix-new-part1

> and I don't recommend you do it manually:

Vandyke&Associates has released free verification software (I think as part
of the S/MIME freeware library, SFL).  I have no idea how easy it would be
to graft that into openssl.  Doing so would be a neat trick, however, as it
might raise the question is the US gov't violating the current export rules
by providing technical assistance? :)
