Hi Paul,

If you have an X.509 cert you can use it; and you can authenticate the
other guy based on his X.509 fingerprint.

There's no path validation or cert creation.  My view is that certs
are a disaster, and I'm doing users a *favor* by keeping them at arm's
length :-).  Fingerprints are easier to use, so that's what the
library encourages.

Anyways, I don't plan to add more X.509 support.  If someone else
wants to, it is open-source...
