1. You start with hitting the 'security' menu button in netscape.
2. Select 'certificates->yours' and then pick a certificate in the list
3. Press the 'export' button
4. enter your PIN code for the certs
5. select a proper place to save it
6. Run the 'openssl' application. If you cd to the openssl installation, you
can do it like:
./apps/openssl pkcs12 -certfile <the file you saved> -out <output PEMfile>
(NOTE, I didn't really do this operation myself right now, so I may have
missed some detail, but I've done it before)
