To make that more explicit:  We need an X509 rsa:2048 cert with which we 
will sign the update.mar files that we will generate in the future, and 
now we need a file containing the DER representation of that cert's 
public key, and we need to pass the pathname for that DER file into the 
--enable-online-upate-mar Windows build with 
--with-online-update-mar-certificateder=...

(To generate my test cert and DER file, I did something like

$ openssl req -x509 -newkey rsa:2048 ...
$ openssl x509 -outform DER -in cert.pem -out cert.der

and then configured --with-online-update-mar-certificateder=C:/.../cert.der)
