Comment (by Peter.Danecek@…):

 I am reconsidering the function of this port slightly.

 Actually this port makes the assumption that certificates go (will go)
 into `${prefix}/etc/grid-security/certificates`. This might not be the
 case and above all depends on choices made elsewhere (e.g. `igtf-bundle`
 see ticket #41532). On the other hand, the utilities provided by this
 port, are potentially useful in a context independent of any prepackages
 certificate bundle, for example if the user decides to manage certificates
 manually or to install them in `/etc/grid-security` for example, this
 tools still could be used.

 So this is what I propose:
 - this port installs **only** the utilities, the docu and an example
 config file;
 - does **no** default configuration and **no** launchd magic;
 - such configuration is moved to any potential user (dependent) of this
 port, e.g. (future) `igtf-bundle` port;
 - igtf-bundle will depend on this port and use it to make a first request
 for CRLs on activation, and clean CRLs when deactivated; It may provide a
 auto-fetch launchd service as well;
