## gentxt.csh -- generate a TXT record for DomainKeys service
##
## Usage: gentext.csh <selector> [<domain>]
##
## This will write a TXT record suitable for insertion into a DNS zone file
## on standard output, and the matching public/private keys will be in
## PEM-formatted files called <selector>.public and <selector>.private,
## respectively, in the current directory.
##
## To translate the record produced by this script, see the DomainKeys
## draft.  The script will output a record which advertises an RSA-style
## public key in test mode.
