It depends on the data you want to encode and decode. If there's already
a structure and functions to handle it then this is relatively easy. If
however you want to write customised encoding and decoding routines then
this is much harder, at least with current releases of OpenSSL. OpenSSL
0.9.7 will have completely rewritten ASN1 routines which should make the
task much easier.
