+=head1 NEW FUNCTIONALITY IN OPENSSL 0.9.8
+
+Some additional functionality was added to PKCS12_create() in OpenSSL
+0.9.8. These extensions are detailed below.
+
+If a certificate contains an B<alias> or B<keyid> then this will be
+used for the corresponding B<friendlyName> or B<localKeyID> in the
+PKCS12 structure.
+
+Either B<pkey>, B<cert> or both can be B<NULL> to indicate that no key or
+certficate is required. In previous versions both had to be present or
+a fatal error is returned.
+
+B<nid_key> or B<nid_cert> can be set to -1 indicating that no encryption
+should be used. 
+
+B<mac_iter> can be set to -1 and the MAC will then be omitted entirely.
