 For anyone who wasn't aware of this vulnerability (I suspect that
in this case I'm behind the curve, and you've probably all already
fixed your own affected systems), 3.2.12.1 builds with the current
instructions, and links to the book's current version of p11-kit.
The timings for make check and for rebuilding the docs are, however,
quite different on my machine.  I'll put it in the book when svn is
open, and then do a chroot gnome build to try to spot anything which
fails to build.

 What I can't do at the moment is confirm what uses this.  I suspect
that it is dynamically loaded when https:// has to be negotiated.
Can somebody remind me, please, of the package which identifies
dynamically loaded libraries ?  I think Igor mentioned it a while
back, and I'm fairly sure that Fernando showed some output from it,
but I can't find it in my notes.  Thanks.
