There isn't an OpenSSL library function to do this but the openssl utility has
some code that will parse things in that format.
There are some things to be careful of such as how to handle embedded '/'
within fields.
If you can split that into a set of name value strings ("CN", "XX") ("O",
"xxxx") you can then call the standard X509_NAME_add_entry_by_txt() call.
