No, I hadn't known about CACert. Thanks.

I was hoping, however, to create a certificate for a dummy entity so
that I could include the certificates in the source tarball (speaking of
which, have I added the gpg keys I use for testing?). I'm not sure I'd
want to distribute a cert that was issued for *me* in a public source ;-)

Still, it's better than nothing I guess.

I'll have to take a closer look at them later.

Thanks again Dirk,
