that was done as a GSoC project, but i then made the mistake
of trying to include it as part of a much larger change on
the Inferno side. it wasn't a silly mistake: factotum doesn't
support the key structure required for public keys and signatures,
so something more was needed. i also wanted to extend Inferno's
authentication scheme. that in turn is requiring a big (ie, visible)
change in a few old Inferno modules and commands.
still, for your purposes the temporary hack of stashing the
existing certificate data in hex would be fine.
i'll send you some changes for you to try.
