I use rk_dumpfile() from libroken (added recently) and lib/asn1/asn1_print
to debug problem. gdb's "dump memory file-name start-addr stop-addr" is
also useful when using gdb.

I think it can be useful when pretty pretting octet/integer/bitstring data
From asn1_print. Need time I'm modifying asn1_print I might add it.
