Apache doesn't expose this directly anyway, so you'd need to use an
ASN.1 parser to pull it out of the certificate. I don't see how that
significantly simplifies implementations.

Whatsmore, if I wanted to get this PEM key and put it in my FOAF, how
do I do it without fiddling around with the openssl command-line
client? If I look at my certificate in my browser's certificate manager
(and I've checked this with Opera and Firefox), I can't find it. I can
find the modulus in hex; I can find the exponent in hex (Opera) or
decimal (Firefox); I can't find a PEM or DER encoded public key.
