It's not the full RFC5280 algorithm. It just translates characters rather
naively to lower case and performs the necessary space folding. Enough to pass
the PKITS RFC3280 tests. It also strips off the outer SEQUENCE header so it
can be rapidly used to check name constraints.

The encoding of that lot is shoved through SHA1.
