Each certificate section of the input certdata.txt file has a trust
section following it with details.
This script failed to detect the start of the trust for at least one
cert[*], which made the script continue pass that section into the next
one where it found an 'untrusted' marker and as a result that certficate
was not included in the output.
[*] = "Hellenic Academic and Research Institutions RootCA 2011"

This reverts commit 9f0e1689f169b83b8fbdae23e0024cc57dcbc770.
It turned out that "improvement" instead made the fetching of the
certificates unreliable

An alternative would be:
1. specify HTTPS_CA_DIR and/or HTTPS_CA_FILE
2. ensure that Net::SSL is being used, and IO::Socket::SSL is NOT being
used

Only download and convert the certdata to the ca-bundle.crt if Mozilla
changed the data
The Perl LWP module (which in a bit of a circular reference is used by
mk-ca-bundle.pl) is now indirectly using this script. I made this small
tweak to make it easier to automatically maintain the generated
ca-bundle.crt file in version control.
The official Mozilla page at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/ points out a new place
as the "proper" place to get Mozilla's CA certs from so this script is
now updated to use that instead.
