OpenSSL doesn't support the default PVK format that MS use with
makecert. Recent versions of Mono's makecert can create certificates and
private keys in the PKCS#12 format, which OpenSSL supports (but it's not
it's default format).

Note that there's currently no way (i.e. tools) to convert existing PVK
+CER to PKCS#12 files, but this should be easy (few lines) to do using
Mono.Security.dll if you need that.
