I have one question regarding your root CA signing.

You use the openssl ca program to selfsign the certificate. Before a
number of people has used the "req -new -x509":method (or "x509 -in
crt.csr").
Stems this change from changes in openssl's features ?

Also i'm thinking about you use of concatenating of a certificate and
its ca certs.
I would like to see more explanations of why you distribute certs and
crls as DER compared with PEM and in what cases this is necessary.
