Subj : Installing manually obtained let's encrypt certificate

Since letsyncrypt isn't working here and the irc is down, I decided to figure
out how to get the cert on my own.

Let's Encrypt has a nice bit of software that installed easily and works just
fine. I can apparently set it up with cron to run when I need it to.  It
created certificates without any issue.  The problem now is that I cannot
figure out where synchronet expects to find these certificates (aside from the
self-signed one).  There is some nice documentation on the wiki for importing
these into Hiawatha, but not any on getting the synchronet webserver to find or
import them.

There is an entry about using something called certtool but that utility is old
and appears broken so I hope that isn't the answer.

../jsexec certtool --import
/etc/letsencrypt/live/capitolcityonline.net/fullchain.pem

Throws a cryptlib error -43.

Thanks!
