Changelog

+- Rob Crittenden provided an NSS update with the following highlights:
+
+ o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
+ then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
+ those exist.
+
+ o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
+ loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
+ certificates already in the NSS database are used.
+
+ o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
+ thing is done
+
+ o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
+ including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
+ verbose mode
+
+ o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)
+
+ The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
+ 8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
+ with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
+ keys.
