We just implemented it ourselves, by parsing the data field of the (1.0.2) OpenSSL ASN1_TIME structure into a struct tm and using mktime. That's not ideal, since it's looking at an internal representation. Also, for some reason, 1.0.2 seems to keep the year as a two-digit value for ASN.1 UTC Time, with a window centered on 1970, while it uses a 4-digit year for ASN.1 Generalized Time. The code handles that but it makes me nervous - it's the sort of internal detail that seems likely to change. struct tm is local time, so you need to adjust for timezone. With Generalized Time you need to parse the offset from UTC; then you adjust your struct tm based on the difference between the ASN.1 time's offset and your local offset. I should really review that code at some point. But for now it appears to work.
