As Corinna mentioned, there's two scripts. One to manage hash cache of
certificates, and another to manage simple CA.
As far as I understand it, the CA script has two variants (shell and Perl),
the rehashing one only comes in Perl flavor, but it seems to be simple enough
task to convert it to shell. *making a note for myself*
