  * Start an S/MIME signing context.
  *
  * "scert" is the cert that will be used to sign the data.  It will be
  * checked for validity.
  *
  * "ecert" is the signer's encryption cert.  If it is different from
  * scert, then it will be included in the signed message so that the
  * recipient can save it for future encryptions.
  *
  * "certdb" is the cert database to use for verifying the cert.
  * It can be NULL if a default database is available (like in the client).
  *
  * "digestalg" names the digest algorithm (e.g. SEC_OID_SHA1).
  * XXX There should be SECMIME functions for hashing, or the hashing should
  * be built into this interface, which we would like because we would
  * support more smartcards that way, and then this argument should go away.)
  *
  * "digest" is the actual digest of the data.  It must be provided in
  * the case of detached data or NULL if the content will be included.
  *
  * This function already does all of the stuff specific to S/MIME protocol
  * and local policy; the return value just needs to be passed to
  * SEC_PKCS7Encode() or to SEC_PKCS7EncoderStart() to create the encoded data,
  * and finally to SEC_PKCS7DestroyContentInfo().
  *
  * An error results in a return value of NULL and an error set.
