Use a memory BIO and PEM_write_bio_X509().
In memory the DER representation is generally more useful than PEM.
The only plausible reason that comes to mind for using PEM in memory
is for a UI that allows users to copy/paste PEM format certificates.
Do you really need PEM? Or might i2d_X509() be a better interface
for your real needs (serializing X509 data).
