Hi David,

A minor nit.

pkcs7_verify_sig_chain() is getting big with multiple goto labels. Will
it make sense to introduce a helper function to see if cert B is authority
cert of cert A or not. And then we should be able to get rid of labels
like found_issuer_check_skid() and some of the inline code also go away.

Thanks
Vivek
