My apologies. My suggestion is almost what you say, but with the
difference that the new format is the master (as it contains more info
than certdata.txt does) and certdata.txt gets regenerated whenever NSS
takes a new release of the root list, rather than the other way around.

So in this scenario the EV C++ file would be directly generated from the
new format; certdata.txt would not need to carry EV info. In fact, the
file format of certdata.txt would be unchanged.
