contents without apassphrase

Hi,
Gnutls has bugs when handling PKCS#12 files and their contents when
they do not have a passphrase.
OpenSSL's "openssl pkcs12" utility worked fine to load and dump those
PKCS#12 files which made me look into the gnutls source code and I managed
to find out what was going on after a log of debugging. For example
gnutls didn't allow a 0 MPI which is perfectly valid. Also it had no
concept of empty passwords (it assumed password = NULL means not encrypted
which is wrong) and finally it did not understand the difference between
password = NULL and password = "".
The below patch fixes all the above problems. It is against the current
gnutls cvs (generated using "cvs diff"). Please apply.
Let me know if you need more info about anything...
Without this patch ntfsdecrypt (from linux-ntfs project, ntfsprogs cvs)
cannot load PKCS#12 files generated by Windows when the user generating
them used an empty passphrase. With the patch both older style and newer
style PKCS#12 files can be loaded. (The difference between the two is
that one uses password = NULL and the other password = "". It switched
between Windows XP SP1 and SP2 IIRC or it might have been between XP and
XP SP1, doesn't really matter as I have example PKCS#12 files I always
use for testing...)
Best regards,
Anton
