I have been using wine for various tools and utilities at work and home
for some time now.  Recently I tried to use wine to run the VMware
Infrastructure Client and ran into bug 18337
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18337).

I am pasting my comments on that bug here to avoid repetition
(http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18337#c4).

So - I looked through the code (current git @1.1.29) and compared to the
1.0 release (because of comment 1) and did not see that
CERT_CHAIN_POLICY_SSL was ever implemented.

Looking at chain.c, line 1886-1902 I can see the switch-case statement
where this would have been handled.  The problem I ran into while trying
to keep up with the code was figuring out what the verify_* methods are
trying to do.

I'd really like to see this work and may have some spare cycles to help
out.  The problem is that I don't understand everything happening in
these methods - can I get some pointers to what is happening or what
should happen in the yet to be created verify_ssl_policy() method?
