Thanks for submitting the tarball, Adrian. I've been working on adding 
features that help pyOpenssl work with
GSI as well. FYI the newest development releases of openssl have proxy 
ceritificate support, and the globus toolkit
out of cvs is now generating proxy certificates that are compliant to 
RFC 3820. It is possible to verify the proxy certificate chain using the 
verification function provided by the development version of openssl.

For the older versions openssl and globus we need to use the 
verification callback that you have in your tarball.

Thanks,
Matt Rodriguez
