   Well I burnt through my free certificate there.  I think more realistically 
we need to setup our own CA site for testing, which is why I have been 
stalled.  I can't get OpenCA to work here...   As for the code, it's pretty 
much all done in KHTML, KCertPart is [I think completely] done too, and in 
KSSL the only part remaining is all contained in ksslkeygen.cc under 
generateCSR().

   You'll notice lots of error checking is missing, it still needs to write a 
KConfig entry to track the CSR and private key for later (so it can rebuild 
the PKCS#12 or whatever format we want), and the X509 NAME entries are all 
bogus (I used the same string in each for now, just for testing).  I'm also 
not sure of RSA_generate_key can block, which would probably be a bad thing 
in a subdialog of KHTML.
