While developing a crypto app, I've used QCA 1.0 and made several
extensions to it that I'm calling qca-1.1 and sending along to you.
- From the README-v1.1:

  I added support for CRLs, PRNG, RSA key generation callbacks (so
that
  you can show a progress bar while the key is being generated) and
  basic PKCS7 and PKCS12 stuff. I needed those things for the Kapanga
  project (a X509 wallet and crypto proxy that will come out soon).
  I also added SSL session resumption support and a few niceties for
  anyone working with client certificates.

  While it works for me, consider it a work in progress, though.
  I tried to extend Justin's original work without breaking anything
  that already worked (that is, I added more classes, methods and
  parameters to already existing methods, but always supplying
  defaults to the way things previously were), but I have not
  thoroughly tested to see everything works. Justin may also decide
  to do some serious reworking in the stuff I added. And yeah, I
  know that after doing all that I should also contribute to the
  examples tree -- that's coming RSN.

  Some of the things in there are among the ugliest kludges I've
  ever made (such as using QMaps to dispatch OpenSSL callbacks to
  the correct objects), but they do work. I tested both in Windows
  with VC++6SP5 and Linux with gcc 2.96 and 3.2.

Feel free to incorporate anything of that into QCA2. Tell me if
you need a hand on this.
