The stuff in a_strnid.c is set of definitions for "string like" DN
components and some related helper functions. For each supported
component maximum and minimum lenghts can be added and a set of
permissible string types.

If a type is not in the table then no limits are placed on its length
and its type is a DirectoryString except it doesn't use
UniversalStrings.

Some types can have the permitted string types modified by a global
mask. This allows things like BMPStrings and UTF8Strings to be avoided
in cases where they could be a problem (older versions of Netscape for
example).
