The ASN.1 preprocessor was removed since it had several bugs, a tendency 
to false alarm, and did not really provide much useful functionality 
(all it did was look at the length encodings and alert if it saw 
something suspicious).  I should be making it available as a patch for 
2.0 sometime this week (as I have time to do so).
