Hmm.  So one could verify that that worked on a particular database
(i.e., that the produced selectors selected unique revisions in the
new database), and then use a modified form to produce scripts for
each cert signer, to produce corresponding certs in the new database.
That would produce exactly what everyone wants, except for all the
duplicate certs.

I guess you could make a record of all of those before starting, then
remove them.  Or (if you think of it in time) use a special key to do
the rosterify.  Either way I think you have to use SQL to remove them,
but it's not too bad, I think.

I think that'll work, won't it?
