Once upon a time, there was chop, which somply chopped off the last
character of $_ or a given variable, and it was used to take off the
EOL character (\n) of strings.
... but then, you had to check for the presence of such character.
So came chomp, the better chop which checks for \n before chopping it
off. And this worked well, as long as Perl made internally sure that
all EOLs were converted to \n.
These days, though, there seems to be a mixture of perls, so lines
from files in the "wrong" environment might have \r\n as EOL, or just
\r (Mac OS, unless I'm misinformed).
So it's time we went for the more generic variant and use s|\R$||, the
better chomp which recognises all kinds of known EOLs and chops them
off.
A few chops were left alone, as they are use as surgical tools to
remove one last slash or one last comma.
NOTE: \R came with perl 5.10.0. It means that from now on, our
scripts will fail with any older version.

objects.pl only looked for a space to see if the name could be
used as a C identifier. Improve the test to match the real C
rules.

Fix (?): Delete 'ip-pda 6' (id-pda-pseudonym) because it does not exist
in RFC 3039.
Also change Perl scripts to put auto-generation warning in the
first lines of the file.
abort with errors if no name is defined for some object, which was the
case for 'pilotAttributeType 27'.
Also avoid this very situation by assigning the name
'pilotAttributeType27'.
could be done automagically, much like the numbering in libeay.num and
ssleay.num. The solution works as follows:
- New object identifiers are inserted in objects.txt, following the
syntax given in objects.README.
- objects.pl is used to process obj_mac.num and create a new
obj_mac.h.
- obj_dat.pl is used to create a new obj_dat.h, using the data in
obj_mac.h.
This is currently kind of a hack, and the perl code in objects.pl
isn't very elegant, but it works as I intended. The simplest way to
check that it worked correctly is to look in obj_dat.h and check the
array nid_objs and make sure the objects haven't moved around (this is
important!). Additions are OK, as well as consistent name changes.
