If implementing the above function is a problem with the new NSS, I would
recommend a new function exported in the nss3.dll named
PK11_ImportDERCertForKeyToSlot with the same parameters as the current
PK11_ImportCertForKeytoSlot, except replacing the cert parm with the SECItem
DERCert parm and adding one more for the creating the trust, such as
"u,u,u".

This would allow those that have a need to create a "dummy certificate" to
associate with a public/private key to be able to create a signed DER
certificate and allow it to be associated with the public/private keys
generated on a hardware token and or the internal token.  From what I can
tell, there a several internal NSS utilities and examples that need this
type of function, as well as those of us who desire to add SSH
public/private key support within NSS.
