I think what really kills it is OpenCA::OpenSSL, it would greatly benefit
from a little linking to the OpenSSL libraries or, at least, lowering the
cost of OpenCA::X509::initCert a little bit: there is really no need to
call the openssl shell to get DER from PEM or viceversa...

I have CRRs working on the 0.9 branch, but it would benefit greatly from
clarifying whether it is REVOKE_REQUEST, PENDING_CRR or what.  I settled
for PENDING_CRR from RA to CA, I tried APPROVED_CRR but seemed to need
work elsewhere.

Still it needs work in the user interface, the CA does not see a thing
about what it is revoking.

The current installation zaps all configuration files...

That is a major problem in testing.

All the best.
