There is some more documentation in 0.9.7, see X509* manual pages. The complete API isn't documented yet but there's a certificate creation demo in demos/x509/mkcert.c I've recently uploaded a highly experimental AC ASN1 modules to my 'play' area on dev.openssl.org. AC support will be added at some point. At present we could do with some AC examples, preferably ones which can be made public.
