I see no problem in enabling CMS, but rfc3779 seems to be changing
struct x509_st (X509) in a ABI incompatible way, and I can't tell
if this will break something or not.  I would need to see that it
doesn't break anything before enabling it.  And I don't have the
time to look into this.

Else it would require me to change the soname again, and the
transition from the previous one started 10 months ago and
still isn't finnished.  But I don't see a big problem in
doing an other one.

I would be more inclined to do so if there were other reasons to
change the soname.
