Indeed it is an issue. Since this structure wasn't intended to be
exported in the new version of libtasn1 it will not be available (so it
will allow us to upgrade the library internals without changing the
API). In 99% of the projects using libtasn1 this will not be an issue
since this structure is not likely to be used.
