I understand that there should be problems with Windows.
So the test PKCS12 object was created using Windows using a GOST-providing
CSP.

I do not know whether the authors of the CSP have implemented their own
mechanism of transforming the password or used any provided by the Windows
system default.

But in fact the openssl being built without defining the PBE_UNICODE macros
was able to parse the test PKCS12.

Thank you!
