Been there. Done that.
Seriously though this question does crop up from time to time. If you
use at least SSLeay 0.8.1 there are some "experimental" applications in
crypto/pkcs7 that almost do what you want. I posted a patch (long ago)
that fixed a bug in the implementation and allows PKCS#7 signatures to
be verified be they S/MIME, signed JAR or crypto.Signtext.
I sent some patches off to Eric which also allowed signatures to be
generated as well, though they didn't make it into 0.9.0 due to time
pressures (I presume).
I've also got a prototype full S/MIME implementation which handles the
enveloped (encrypted) modes as well.
