Ok, thanks. Commited as:

2005-04-21  Casey Marshall  <address@hidden>

        * gnu/java/security/der/DERValue.java
        (getValueAs): new method.
        * gnu/java/security/x509/ext/PrivateKeyUsagePeriod.java
        (<init>): read both dates with 'DERValue.getValueAs', with
        'GENERALIZED_TIME' as the argument.
