...and lots of people dealing with dnssec-keygen's user-unfriendliness
by writing shell scripts to run it, which will break if we change its
interface now.  A lot of old mistakes have gotten chiseled into stone
by that.

I've long wanted to write a replacement for the zone key functions
of dnssec-keygen (or at least a sensible wrapper), so that DNSSEC
keys could be generated according to a configured policy rather
than command-line alphabet soup.

For generating host keys, I suggest "ddns-confgen" rather than
"dnssec-keygen".
