Description:
instead of adding self signed certs to my.cnf as in 
  cnf="$cnf ssl-cert=$DIR/client-cert.pem"
as per  http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/secure-create-certs.html, or  via the ssl-ca, there is an efficient way to put them into a directory and have a symbolic link to them that doesn't require server restart upon a change of the set of available client-certs - see also 
http://exim.org/exim-html-4.50/doc/html/spec_38.html#SECT38.6

How to repeat:
.

Suggested fix:
Add a mechanism to define a directory in analogy to exim's tls_verify_certificates
