I've implemented & commited this now -- which means that everyone with
OpenSSL 0.9.6 should be able to verify the integrity of S/MIME
messages without any configuration.  To additionally be able to
authenticate identity of a sender, one needs to populate
`smime-CA-file' or `smime-CA-directory' with something you trust (or
not, or whatever).
