I vote against its merging in its current state for two reasons :
	1) we are too close to the release to merge such a patch
	2) we shouldn't have the x509 generation code in the node

As I've already explained on IRC, I do think that we can have it but it
should be in a plugin and an optional feature... have a look to what
others projects do: most of them don't provide a way to generate the
certificates!
