    o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
      then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
      those exist.
    
    o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
      loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
      certificates already in the NSS database are used.
    
    o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
      thing is done
    
    o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
      including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
      verbose mode
    
    o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)
    
    The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
    8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
    with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
    keys.
