Redefining these programs in terms of the API exported in security.h 
shouldn't be too hard. I'd call it easy but then you'd want me to do it and 
I'll probably be grumpy and redefine their whole interface and then have to 
rewrite half of pubcookie so maybe I better not commit to anything.

Also on the "interesting" idea: an expert system that looks at your 
configuration and guesses what's wrong with it.

I'm also still trying to come up with an "easy" way of leveraging 
certificates, since we've had so many questions on it. I'm still unsure 
what the best way to proceed is.
