The .x509 file contains a certificate signed by the private key, but not
the private key. With some scripting, it can be used to verify the
module signatures.


Assuming that doesn't change (hopefully), I'll send v2 in a few minutes
(it just compiles in order to test it). Thanks for assuring me that
.x509 does not and will not contain the private key.

I'm happy I did that. Just deleting the private key currently doesn't work. A subsequent make fails:

Maybe that's the reason I've always deleted both files, can't remember.

I will see if I find the time and passion to change the Makefile in order to fix that. So you might either use my existing patch or wait if I will send a new one.
