Alright, I bought a 5 year certificate from Steadfast/Comodo at the
discounted rate of $14.95 per year (because they like us :-) ).  It's
now installed on developer.pidgin.im, and is only used for
https://developer.pidgin.im/login.  Let me know if you notice any
problems.  Also, there were a some files in the /etc/ssl/certs/ and
/etc/ssl/private/ directories on imperial that I suspect are no longer
being used.  I created an "old" subdirectory and moved the files
there.  If that breaks anything we can move them back.

And I got a free StartCom certificate through xmpp.org
(http://xmpp.org/ca/) which we're using for ejabberd on
rock.pidgin.im.
