The code commited this morning should have this capability. I'll have a
0.9.1 release soon.

Thank you.

The 0.9.x releases have a different API (for the certificate parsing) and 
should be used by new programs. Today I commited most of the planned changes
for the x.509 certificates. What remains to be done, is the new openpgp key
handling API, and probably a certificate request generation api (I've not started
working on it, and I don't know if it will make it to the 1.0.0 release).

When these two features are added I'll move to 0.9.9x which will be testing 
releases for the stable 1.0.0.
