That was originally so I could determine the end of the message and fill 
a SECBUFFER_EXTRA buffer if there's any leftover data (probably because 
the input buffer contained part of the next message).  However, since I 
had to do my own TLS frame decoding anyway in a later patch, I don't 
really need to know the MAC size anymore.

I'll produce a revised patchset shortly, taking into account Hans's 
feedback as well.
