+Generate a 1024 bit DSA key and put it into a file. The public key format is
+that specified by X.509, while the private key format is PKCS #8.
+
+The domain parameters are the ones specified as the Java default DSA
+parameters. There is nothing special about these, it's just the only 1024-bit
+DSA parameter set that's included in Botan at the time of this writing. The
+application always reads/writes all of the domain parameters to/from the file,
+so a new set could be used without any problems. We could generate a new set
+for each key, or read a set of DSA params from a file and use those, but they
+mostly seem like needless complications.
