OpenSSL c_rehash translation
I wanted to use a hashed certificate directory as the CApath argument to
OpenSSL's SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(). The normal OpenSSL distribution
installs the Perl script c_rehash from the tools directory to automate the
process of building a directory of hash-as-filename symlinks to the
contained certificates. This script is not installed on NetBSD since Perl is
not in the base system. I have translated the script to a shell script and
tested it on a few situations. I'm posting it here so others may find and
use it as necessary.
