'tis done.

I found a quiet period to look into it and test it a little. Check out the new
-stream option in the smime utility for OpenSSL 0.9.9.
Support in the API is quite simple too, just include the PKCS7_STREAM flag in the calls to PKCS7_{sign,encrypt} and SMIME_write_PKCS7() see the docs for more info or the new examples in demos/smime. Chaining isn't possible using that method however (e.g. sign & encrypt) that would need major API changes.
Encrypting and signing works as expected, really great job. This feature enables encrypting and signing very big files.

Is support planned for verifying and decryption? First simple tries with changing PKCS7_decrypt and PKCS7_verify were not successful for me (I don't really understand the backgrounds of the openSSL sources).

Regards,
Harald
