+Transforms a .p12 file, for instance as exported by Firefox's
+cerfiticate "backup" feature, into a pair of a PEM certificate file
+and private key.
+
+To export your certificate from Firefox, go to Edit|Preferences,
+Advanced|Security|View Certificates, and ``Backup'' your certificate
+to a file. Firefox will save it as a PKCS12 certificate. You must
+enter a passphrase, which this script will prompt you for.

+You can pass these to wget's --certificate and --private-key options,
