Why do you need to delete the certificate?

No special reason.

I'm just not sure (and too lazy to look it up) if it might contain the
private key too (like it's possible in pem files), so I've deleted it too.

Or in other words, while .priv leads me to the educated guess that it contains the private key, .x509 doesn't give me an obvious indication what it contains.

If someone assures me that .x509 doesn't contain the private key necessary to sign the modules, I'll send a v2 of the patch.

Alexander Holler
