You can create the things using OpenSSL 0.9.9-dev only. They are also
displayed correctly.

Correctly partitioning the CRLs is down to the user setting the config
correctly.

The config file format for that option isn't documented but it isn't hard
to work out. Just include the string "indirectCRL" and it will set the flag.

The OpenSSL verify code does not currently support them, it may well do in the
not too distant future.
