This is the second beta of the M2Crypto 0.16 release.

Please give these bits a spin and report any problems. I will be making
new betas once a week (or more often if needed) until regressions are
fixed. I expect the final 0.16 bits will be out by the end of June 2006.

gracefully, by Miloslav Trmac.
