The questions is their is a d2i_ASN1_UINTEGER exists for that zero pad
issue, is their a i2d version, I couldn't find one.

I guess a second question is, is their a better way to build an ECDSA
signature from the R and S components, the code
for ASNI sequence is something I never figured out, is their an
example in ossl somewhere?
