Committed, but I've re-added the make/${MAKE_PROGRAM} parts,
certs/Makefile (which gets installed and maybe run by the user)
still needs gmake. It would be nicer to convert this particular
Makefile to avoid GNU extensions but I'm not sure how.

(btw, as a general rule I'd prefer it if we didn't include
pre-generated cert/keys in packages, even if they're just meant
as examples, what do you think about removing them?).
