It could be i'm totally missing the use-case for this, but personally I think if you can't take the 30 minutes to google one of the hundreds of guides that use OpenSSL commands and precompiled win32 binaries to generate three files you shouldn't be trusted with providing security for a website. Who are these people who need SSL and don't have 30 minutes to learn this once?

There are tons of scripts and other tools that handle the commands for you, too. Do I really need to sign up for yet another website just to perform one operation? (No, and neither should you)
