Update CA.pl podpage, and script
Merge the NOTES section into the relevant parts of the manpage. Add the $EXTRA parameter in consistent places (the end) to call commands. Document that multiple -extra-XXX might be needed.

-=head1 DSA CERTIFICATES
-
-Although the B<CA.pl> creates RSA CAs and requests it is still possible to
-use it with DSA certificates and requests using the L<openssl-req(1)> command
-directly. The following example shows the steps that would typically be taken.
-
-Create some DSA parameters:
-
- openssl dsaparam -out dsap.pem 1024
-
-Create a DSA CA certificate and private key:
-
- openssl req -x509 -newkey dsa:dsap.pem -keyout cacert.pem -out cacert.pem
-
-Create the CA directories and files:
-
- CA.pl -newca
-
-enter a filename (for example, F<cacert.pem>) when prompted for the CA file
-name.
-
-Create a DSA certificate request and private key (a different set of parameters
-can optionally be created first):
-
- openssl req -out newreq.pem -newkey dsa:dsap.pem
-
-Sign the request:
-
- CA.pl -signreq
-
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
+The environment variable B<OPENSSL> may be used to specify the name of
+the OpenSSL program. It can be a full pathname, or a relative one.
+
The environment variable B<OPENSSL_CONFIG> may be used to specify a
configuration option and value to the B<req> and B<ca> commands invoked by
this script. It's value should be the option and pathname, as in
C<-config /path/to/conf-file>.
-=head1 NOTES

-If the F<demoCA> directory already exists then the B<-newca> command will not
-overwrite it and will do nothing. This can happen if a previous call using
