Please test updated daily snapshot:

The release notes for libtasn1 v2.0 will also say that if anyone needs a
libtasn1 that provides a libtasn1-config script (for use with older
applications) they can use libtasn1 v1.x. I'll continue to support v1.x
as a stable branch for some time to come, and if there are security
problems during that time I'll do new releases for both v1.x and v2.x.
The code is mostly identical except for indentation and cosmetic
changes, so any security patch will apply to both branches.
