Author how to create a self-signed wildcard ssl certificate?

I've successfully create a self-signed certificate, but it is not
wildcard, prompting browser warnings when visiting domain names other
than the one it was created for.

I recall reading somewhere that all that needs to be done is use a
Common Name of *.mydomain.com on the csr file, as opposed to an
explicit sub domain, such as www.mydomain.com. However, this seems
entirely too easy. I'll try it nonetheless, but before I get started I
was wondering if anyone could confirm that, indeed, it is that simple
or give me pointers as to what else needs to be done.
