Ok thanks. Now I'd like to dump out the key values: if I use NSS_NoDBInit(),
how do I dump out the private key value? I would need to be able to convert
from a SECKEYPrivateKey to convert a SECKEYLowPrivateKey, but I can't find a
function to do that.  I see certutil has a DumpPublicKey and DumpPrivateKey
but it uses a function called GetPrivKeyFromNickname() which doen't seem to
exist anywhere...Even if it did, how could I get the priv key from a
nickname, if I'm using a NSS with NoDB?

Could you help me find a way to dump out key values?
