For an input string containing a CTF URI
(http://127.0.0.1/securid/ctf?ctfData=2328...) I would not expect to
see any non-ASCII characters.

For an SDTID XML file, I call xmlReadMemory() with encoding set to
NULL (UTF-8).  There is some variation in how RSA's own utilities
handle non-ASCII characters, and even HTML entities, so I'm not 100%
sure all of the MAC fields are computed correctly.  It would be
helpful for somebody with access to a working, up-to-date RSA
Authentication Manager setup to generate a couple of test tokens.

Don't know if anyone has tried to build libstoken under MinGW.
