This is indeed much nicer. Should md use EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE? But then I
guess the code needs to pass a len param to X509_pubkey_digest() so
that the memcmp() can use it. Also why did you move the
	if (os->length != SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH) {
check after X509_pubkey_digest()? It is a cheap check that is currently
done before.
