A small utility without dependencies except go. It is therfore trivial
to install this by hand but job thought it would be useful to have it as
a port, so here we go.

The Makefile has more handrolled things than I would like. go.port.mk is
an incomprehensible mess and it made me waste more than enough time for
this trivial thing. If there's a better way for anything, please let me
know.

It is unlikely that this will ever see official releases, so I refrained
from prepending 0.0. to the date because I find this very ugly and hacky.
If this leaf port needs to bump EPOCH, so be it.

Comment:
convert between ASN.1 encodings and text

Description:
DER ASCII is a small human-editable language to emit DER (Distinguished
Encoding Rules) or BER (Basic Encoding Rules) encodings of ASN.1 structures
and malformed variants of them.

The package provides two tools, ascii2der and der2ascii, to convert DER
ASCII to a byte string and vice versa. These tools may be used to create
test inputs by taking an existing DER or BER structure, disassembling it
with der2ascii into DER ASCII, making adjustments, and assembling back into
binary with ascii2der. This avoids having to manually fix up all the length
prefixes. As a bonus, it acts as a human-readable view for DER structures.
