Yes I've noticed this. Basically I am making an embedded client, and am looking for every way possible to reduce code size, and obj_dat is very big. I've more or less concluded that it is not worth the trouble, but 24k is 24k. It surely should be possible to parse the essential info (Issuer, Subject and public key info etc.) from a cert. without having all the machinery that is in OpenSSL, but achieving that within the context of OpenSSL at present would be a *lot* of work. Would you agree, have you any comments?

You should be careful about deleting lines from objects.txt because this will break binary compatibility with any applications that use the NIDs directly: they'd need to be recompiled.
