    I have builds of 0.17 of M2Crypto for both Linux and Windows. I want
the new bug fixes. The 0.17 version mishandles SSL certs that specify
more than one domain name, and that's supposedly fixed in 0.18.  But
there are enough changes that just copying over the relevant file
(Checker.py) isn't sufficient.
