[xmlsec] Mscrypto patch 2, for cvs XMLSEC_MSCRYPTO_083103 branch

[Wouter]

You're right here, but I think it would be nice to have support for pkcs12
as well (which I've just implemented), it makes the core testing the same
for every supported platform. In addition to that we could add some extra
tests / examples for the Certificate store support.
