I've actually changed my mind about the 'awk | base64 -d' bit. The error
handling is too poor. I'd like to do that in C with a variant of the
existing extract_cert tool, and make sure we have proper X.509
certificates and error handling/reporting.

I'll fix that, but probably not this week while I'm ostensibly on
honeymoon and not answering emails like this one...

(If anyone else wants to beat me to it, you probably just need to make
extract_cert.c loop on extracting the certs from the file/BIO, but do
make sure it tolerates only *one* in the existing 'find signer cert'
mode.)
