+This directory contains non-standard CA certificates needed to build the docker

+Failures building the Docker containers defined in ../ due to SSL certificate
+verification errors may be a consequence of your local network's firewall.  In
+particular, the firewall may be substituting external site certificates with
+its own signed by a non-standard CA certficate (chain).  If so, you can place 
+the necessary certificates into this directory; they will be passed into the
+containers, allowing them to safely connect to those external sites.
+
+Be sure the certificates are in PEM format and include a .crt file extension.
