Sorry, didn't know that. I looked for the full X.509 specification but
couldn't find it - it seems I would have to buy it from ITU.

Does it allow GeneralizedTime for years between 1950 and 2049 too? Then
the much shorter version I sent to openssl-users some time ago [1]
would suffice, save for the change from ASN1_UTCTIME_print to
ASN1_TIME_print (though that would be cosmetic, the former works fine
here).

Otherwise, I'll rip the date format checks out and resubmit the patch.

Cheers,
Oliver
