Thank you for the reply.  The news about OpenSSL 0.9.5 dev is pleasing;
thanks.

Your comments about doing RSA private encrypt via PKCS#11 confuse me.
Perhaps I am reading two points as one?  How do I use the C_Sign() and
C_VerifyRecover()?  I'm a bit confused about what that paragraph means.  Is
it true that I cannot do the RSA_private_encrypt(MD5+SHA1) operation via
PKCS#11 by using the C_Sign() function?  I figure that the only possible way
to perform that operation would be to call C_Encrypt() and passing it the
private key, which I haven't been able to get to work so far.

Regards,

Steven
