It is supported in 0.9.8-dev to some extent: in the sense that you can put
arbitrary data in there using the mini-ASN1 compiler.
*However* the meaning of 'support' in the context of otherName is somewhat
ambiguous. The actual value field can contain anything depending on the name
field. At some point (situation permitting) I may add some code to parse or
print its contents automatically. That's a bit complex though because doing it
properly would need some non trivial modification of the extension code.
