[pyOpenSSL] Call for testing - pyOpenSSL 0.7a1

[Sebastian Vieira]

Hi Jean-Paul,

I would love to take credit for the patches, and provide you with the
documentation you asked for. But the truth is that i haven't written these,
and to be honest my knowledge of C is extremely limited so i'm unable to
answer these questions. Sorry.

kind regards,

Sebastian
