The acme.sh Let's Encrypt client supports using CloudFlare, GoDaddy, 
PowerDNS, LuaDNS, DNSMadeEasy, Route53, ISPConfig >= 3.1, AlwaysDNS, 
FreeDNS, and a few more.  I have not actually tried this, but the 
directions are in dnsapi/README.md in the project.  
https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/  Maybe later.

You basically get an API key and secret, then make those available to 
acme.sh via environment variables, and it makes the API calls to update 
DNS records.  You tell it "--dns dns_NNN" where NNN is one of the 
supported DNS providers.  The manual parts of the client have all worked 
for me, so this should too?
