There as been progress, both for the new X509Certificate2 and X509Store
classes, but the HttpWebRequest code hasn't yet been updated. This part
is somewhat interlocked with the new SslStream class (2.0) and how we'll
provide it. 

However at this stage it may be possible to make a quick hack to add
client-side certificate support for *some* 2.0 apps (depending on how
the certificate is loaded).
