Yeah I'm slowly working on this. It's quite easy to generate cacerts on
all distros using simple BASH script and keytool (taken from recently
build OpenJDK), but the main problem is that every distro has a set of
certificates located somewhere else and I'm not excited about creating
some sort of big switch in Makefile ;-)

Does this issue have high priority? I think that every distro solves
this issue with its own way (for Fedoras and RHELs in .specfiles etc.)
