Please note that the ~2002 deprecation was confusing, as it wasn't very
clear which set of ASN.1 APIs was the bad one.  Depending on which parts
of the documentation someone read, they could get told to use the old
interface, the new interface or not get told either way.

Personally, I just gave up and didn't use that part of OpenSSL.
