Framework work-in-progress update

[Wade T. <wjt...@st...>]

Just a note that I've posted the latest source up on SourceForge.  This 
update has quite a few unfinished bits and pieces in it, because I 
wasn't aiming for a particularly well-rounded release - just an update, 
to fix some noticeable bugs in the previous version.

I'm working on x509 support, and have added something like 20 new 
classes for it, mostly as wrappers around CSSM structures. I'm still 
puzzling over the memory management behind this, so even though these 
classes are largely useless at the moment, any tips or bug reports 
would be greatly appreciated.

I've extended a few classes, such as the Keychain class, to allow you 
to find keychains all over the local computer, including for other 
users, and open these keychains as you'd expect. These new functions 
are well tested, although how well they actually work on a network 
machine remains to be seen.

Another thing that's new is two methods of the Certificate class to 
retrieve and set the default certificate for the current user. Note 
that these have not been tested - not even a little bit. They may not 
work at all. Until I get the code working to actually generate a 
certificate from scratch, I can't very well test much else in this area.

On that note - certificate generation - I've been trying to lay the 
ground work in various places, including the x509 classes previously 
mentioned. How close I am I don't know, although I may very well add a 
quick hack for the time being, using code from Apple's certtool.

The final thing of note is that the framework has now passed 10000 
lines of code - 10019, to be exact. Hooray for arbitrary, meaningless 
milestones! :)
