Ok, noted.

use the -infiles flag.

I think it would be confusing in use, the -inform flag should be implemented
but if you have multiple formats, just use more commands ( 1 for every
supported formats )

I think this would be hard to implement in a right way because of some
considerations that should be made:

        1) How to know if the certificate is valid if you
        do not examine it first (let's say one certificate
        have 30days validity and another 1year) ?

        2) It could happen the index.txt file is not complete:
        how do you build it if you miss the dn, issue time, etc ?

Anyway I think it is safer to pass the certificate: it should not be a frequent
operation ...

Thanks for suggestions, gimme more as you think of it. I do not guarantee I
have time to work on this, but as I get more spare time I'll start working
on it.

See you on the bit stream,
