Using cryptlib with dovecot, Postfix etc.

Hi

I never understood OpenSSL. Whenever I need a key and a certificate for
dovecot,  Postfix, Calenderserver, whatever, I google for some quick tutorial.

And so I have seen gazillions of different ways to achieve (ostensibly)
the same  goal: a key file and a cert file.

Now I thought: "Hey, let's use cryptlib. The manual looks great,
all I need is a  main() with a few cryptlib calls and I'm done".

Until I realized that cryptlib guards its secrets very well.
As Peter says in one  of his presentations: "people copy their
secret key material everywhere. Let them  export it and it shows
up on every computer on the planet." (at least something to 
this effect)

Okay, I understand that, but that means that I can't use cryptlib for what I 
wanted it to use, right? Or do I oversee something?

(No, incorporating cryptlib into all those daemons is not an option...)

Thanks
Thomas
