Feh, wrong vendor branch merge proceedure, clean up before trying again.

-=head1 NAME
-
-RSA_generate_key - generate RSA key pair
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- #include <openssl/rsa.h>
-
- RSA *RSA_generate_key(int num, unsigned long e,
- void (*callback)(int,int,void *), void *cb_arg);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-RSA_generate_key() generates a key pair and returns it in a newly
-allocated B<RSA> structure. The pseudo-random number generator must
-be seeded prior to calling RSA_generate_key().
-
-The modulus size will be B<num> bits, and the public exponent will be
-B<e>. Key sizes with B<num> E<lt> 1024 should be considered insecure.
-The exponent is an odd number, typically 3, 17 or 65537.
-
-A callback function may be used to provide feedback about the
-progress of the key generation. If B<callback> is not B<NULL>, it
-will be called as follows:
-
-=over 4
-
-=item *
-
-While a random prime number is generated, it is called as
-described in L<BN_generate_prime(3)|BN_generate_prime(3)>.
-
-=item *
-
-When the n-th randomly generated prime is rejected as not
-suitable for the key, B<callback(2, n, cb_arg)> is called.
-
-=item *
-
-When a random p has been found with p-1 relatively prime to B<e>,
-it is called as B<callback(3, 0, cb_arg)>.
-
-=back
-
-The process is then repeated for prime q with B<callback(3, 1, cb_arg)>.
-
-=head1 RETURN VALUE
-
-If key generation fails, RSA_generate_key() returns B<NULL>; the
-error codes can be obtained by L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>.
-
-=head1 BUGS
-
-B<callback(2, x, cb_arg)> is used with two different meanings.
-
-RSA_generate_key() goes into an infinite loop for illegal input values.
-
-=head1 SEE ALSO
-
-L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>, L<rand(3)|rand(3)>, L<rsa(3)|rsa(3)>,
-L<RSA_free(3)|RSA_free(3)>
-
-=head1 HISTORY
-
-The B<cb_arg> argument was added in SSLeay 0.9.0.
