Add pathfinder support for certificate validation
From http://code.google.com/p/pathfinder-pki/
PathFinder is designed to provide a mechanism for any program to
perform RFC3280-compliant path validation of X509 certificates,
even when some of the intermediate certificates are not present
on the local machine. By design, Pathfinder automatically
downloads any such certificates from the Internet as needed using
the AIA and CRL distribution point extensions of the certificates
it is processing. It has the ability to do revocation status
checking either using CRL or OCSP, or both. And, given the recent
vulnerabilities that have rendered the MD5 algorithm highly
suspect, it allows the administrator to choose to not validate
certificates using that algorithm anywhere in the trust path.
