[xmlsec] Mscrypto patch 2, for cvs XMLSEC_MSCRYPTO_083103 branch

[Edward Shallow]

Wouter,

   Are you saying that for your P12 support, your are using CAPI for the
core crypto operations but not for key/cert retrieval ?

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.
