+apps/pkcs12.c accepts -password as an argument.  The document author 
+almost certainly meant to write "-password, -passin".
+
+However, that is not correct, either.  Actually the code treats 
+-password as equivalent to -passin, EXCEPT when -export is also 
+specified, in which case -password as equivalent to -passout.  The patch 
+below makes this explicit.
