This particular patch ("getPKCS7(), third version") doesn't include any
UI changes - it just adds a GetPKCS7() method to nsNSSCertificate and
exposes it through nsIX509Cert3. I'd especially welcome comments from
NSS developers if I'm using libsmime properly.

Not this one, but the first two attached to this bug ("patch v1",
"proposal for patch v2"). The bug has a somewhat convoluted history:
- In November '05, it was filed as an RFE by Kai.
- In May '06, Kai asked whether it was ok to use code from
my Cert Viewer Plus extension (I wasn't aware of this bug entry
until then, I had released the first version in February).
Of course I welcomed Kai's initiative.
- In June, Kai attached the first version of the patch
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=225016),
which is based on v0.7 of my code, but only adds the "Save To File"
button to the UI of Firefox/Thunderbird/Seamonkey
(the reason for omitting the "Display In PEM Format" button being
that it didn't work with Seamonkey)
- Still in June, I submitted an enhanced version of Kai's patch
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=225283), which
adds the "Display In PEM Format" button supporting Seamonkey,
too. At that time, I also asked whether it would be feasible
to add a scriptable getPKCS7() method to PSM to allow saving
in PKCS#7 format.
- Finally, in July, I submitted a separate patch for adding just
this method. I soon realized that the first and the second
version didn't really do the right thing, so that's why "getPKCS7(),
third version" is now the version I consider the proper one.

Would it make sense to create a separate bug entry for the getPKCS7()
patch, since this is actually a backend-only thing?
