What should the 'server-client.key' (and .pem, .csr) be used for?  In the end,
I did not end up using them..but I used server.pem in several
different places, which is probably not the best idea.

Ok, I can remove the DNS option entirely and just use the server-name.

I wanted to do all of the common substitutions once at the top
of the file so that I didn't have to have duplicated sed logic in
each of the steps that messes with the .tmp file.

The copy to/from orig logic lets me re-run setup.sh and get
repeatable results.

I can instead make a copy and always work from the copy instead
so that it can be run in-place in the git repo if you prefer?

So, maybe let users specify the <company> and keep the rest hard-coded as is?

Thanks,
