I looked around quite a bit in the apps folder, and could not find any
examples of CSR generation.  I found the certificate signing code, but no
CSR code.  Can someone point me in the right direction?


On another note, I'd like to contribute something to OpenSSL but US law
forbids me from exporting cryptography.  After spending some time with the
library, I've noticed that the entire thing is desparately underdocumented.
(Actually, it was one of the first things I noticed.)  For example, it took
me several hours and much unraveling of macros to understand how the ASN
parsing system works.  I later discovered that it was documented in the
"obsolete" docs/ssleay.txt file, but not all of the behavior documented
there is implemented evenly over all of the i2d/d2i functions (esp w/
respect to NULL pointer inputs).

Much of the code in OpenSSL is quite good but the lack of documentation
really limits its usefulness.  So I'm offering to document one or two
modules of the library, if that would be a worthwhile task.  (Pick a
module, any module.)
