I would also suggest this not get changed in the 0.9.6 branch.  I'm 
even dubious about changing it in the 0.9.7 branch.  The reason is 
that such a change breaks the current test scripts, and then I can 
only guess what other people's scripts will do.

The current solution is instead to parse the output from openssl 
verify.

I'll change the milestone on this ticket to 0.9.8.
