[ANN] Announcing gemcert, a simple certificate generator

Now that I fully read the README, I have to wonder if generating wildcard
certs by default is a good idea.

I assume the use case is serving different content on different subdomains,
right? In that case you need vhost support from the server, and the server
should offer support for different certs for each vhost.

I'd argue that having a different cert for each subdomain is more flexible
because you can later move some of them to different servers. Copying a
wildcard cert around is not generally a good idea.

This is a minor detail, of course. As long as it's possible to generate
non-wildcard certs I'm ok with that.
