Thanks for the reminder! I've actually had it sitting on
a branch for a while. Unfortunately, I was able to get
the verification part supported but I can't figure out
how to force CryptAcquireCertificatePrivateKey() to use
the new "Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic
Provider" instead of the default one. Because of that
signatures from pkcs12 files are broken. I was planning
to take a look but never got back to it.

Anyway, I decided to check it in - I cleaned up a lot of
stuff with this patch and added ability to search for any
number of providers. Roumen, I know you've looked at the
original patch and I would appreciate if you can take a look:

I would appreciate your comments.
