Ok, so to add an extension to a certificate so that the human name "fooname" will be displayed in a browser or by openssl x509 command, I need to write some routines to encode the name and what-not. And that is explained in doc/openssl.txt in the source tree? Do you, by you, I mean anyone on the list, think having the human readable name in the certificate is a requirement?
