Following patch provides new contrib module pgsslinfo, which contains several server-side functions, which allow to examine information about SSL client certificate, used to connect to the server.
This information can be used for example, for logging user access. Textual information from certificate distninguished name is converted into current database charset, which allow non-latin characters in the names to be readable. Module was developed using latest stable version of OpenSSL (0.9.8b). Probably, it should work with previous stable version of OpenSSL (0.9.7something) which is still widely used, or even with outdated version 0.9.6, but I haven't tested it. Module requires access to PostgreSQL variable MyProcPort, which is not declared DLLIMPORT in the appropriate header file (miscadmin.h). So, this patch includes one-line patch to this header file, to allow module compile and work under win32.
