All Object IDs that are not official, but belong to your company
or organisation can be added in the file <CODE>oids.txt</CODE>.
All possible locations for this file are searched and all <CODE>oids.txt</CODE> files
found are loaded. This way the application-installer adds
some in /usr/share/xca, the Administrator in /etc/xca and the user in
$HOME/xca. The format of this file is:<BR>
<B>OID</B>:<B>shortname</B>:<B>longname</B><BR>
Leading and trailing spaces between the colons and the text are ignored.
Lines starting with a <B>#</B> are ignored.</P>

<P>The files containing OID lists (<CODE>eku.txt, dn.txt, aia.txt</CODE>)
are handled in a different way, only the first one found is used.
The format of this files is one entry per line. The entry can be either the
numerical OID like <CODE>1.3.6.1.5.5.8.2.2</CODE>, the short name like
<CODE>iKEIntermediate</CODE> or the long name <CODE>IP security end entity</CODE>.
Lines starting with a <B>#</B> are ignored.
If this files shall contain new inofficial OIDs, they must be also mentioned
in one of the <CODE>oids.txt</CODE> files.</P>
