Sorry for not including you into the discussion. I only cared about the
problem itself, which also pops up in mod_ssl, so I didn't even realize
that we were talking about your package.

Anyway:
NID_uniqueIdentifier _may_ be re-enabled at some point in the future
with its original meaning
# The following clashes with 2.5.4.45, so commented away
#pilotAttributeType 44  : uid                   : uniqueIdentifier

I would therefore propose to not code dependant on
  #ifdef NID_uniqueIdentifier
but by OpenSSL version number.

This discussion started 1 week ago with corresponding problems reported
in the mod_ssl mailing lists. As nobody else spoke up in that regard,
it is my intention to leave everything as is, make sure that the item
is pointed out in CHANGES (maybe even NEWS) and declare the problem to
be "resolved" this way.
I have not yet decided about pilotAttributeType 44, but will probably leave
it disabled until the 0.9.8 release of OpenSSL, so that applications not
conforming to the new naming will not compile instead of silently using
a wrong interpretation.

Best regards,
        Lutz
