[openssl-dev] OpenSSL patches and enhancements from Akamai

[Short, Todd]

Hi Brian:

Given that the subject certificate is self-signed, it means that the issuer and the subject are the same certificate. This change verifies that.

Could you explain this one? It isn't necessarily the case that a
self-signed subject has a self-signed issuer in PKIX, if I am
