The way you have to organize the files, there, depends on which library you 
use: gnutls (certificate chain in one file) or openssl (hash values as 
symlinks).
Not even the server packages (e.g. apache or courier or exim4) use this 
directory by default (it's not even possible to share the files there because 
of access rights for e.g. your own keys).
