We want to write our own cert verification routine, but we need to pass 
our own data down into the routine.  No prob, the context has 
app_verify_arg.  Hooray :) But it's unused. Boo :(

We don't want to diverge from the source if we don't have to. Should we 
add a ex_callback function pointer that can be set, so it gets the 
context and the app_verify_arg?  Should we just change the code so the 
app_verify_arg is always passed in?  Are we the only ones asking for 
this?  (I can't imagine; how do folks write their own verification?)

Hmm.  Let me step back a bit and ask the bigger question:  we have a 
collection of certs, both CA certs and end-entity certs.  We want to 
verify the SSL identity if it is either one of our trusted end-entities, 
or signed by one of our CA's.  Is that easy to do using the current API?
