[Savannah-help-public] [sr #104690] cacert.org SSL Certificates

Follow-up Comment #5, sr #104690 (project administration):

I'd rather use the existing one, as people may already have included it in
their browsers.

Or, we can use CAcert.org, since it is an interesting service to support.
Note that the CAcert.org certificate is included in the 'ca-certificates'
Debian package. Certificate generation is automatic, and is not less secure
that what we currently have, though it may end up more secure (with
CAcert.org included in browsers, which the current Savannah CA never will).

However, again, there's no point in supporting CAcert.org if they foster
non-free software. In such case we might as well get free certificates from
StartCom.
