EVALUATION
Some older PKCS11 tokens support only the raw encoding for an EC poing in an
Elliptic Curve public key. By default, the DER-encoding is used. Should introduce
a PKCS11 config attribute to enable the raw encoding to be used as necessary.

WORK AROUND
This problem affects only ECC-key certs that are passed to the SunPKCS11 provider on Solaris 11. The workaround is to use the SunEC provider instead.
