Document DSA and SHA.

New function BN_pseudo_rand().
Use BN_prime_checks_size(BN_num_bits(w)) rounds of Miller-Rabin when
generating DSA primes (why not use BN_is_prime()?)

+=head1 NAME
+
+DSA_SIG_new, DSA_SIG_free - allocate and free DSA signature objects
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ #include <openssl/dsa.h>
+
+ DSA_SIG *DSA_SIG_new(void);
+
+ void	DSA_SIG_free(DSA_SIG *a);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+DSA_SIG_new() allocates and initializes a B<DSA_SIG> structure.
+
+DSA_SIG_free() frees the B<DSA_SIG> structure and its components. The
+values are erased before the memory is returned to the system.
+
+=head1 RETURN VALUES
+
+If the allocation fails, DSA_SIG_new() returns B<NULL> and sets an
+error code that can be obtained by
+L<ERR_get_error(3)|ERR_get_error(3)>. Otherwise it returns a pointer
+to the newly allocated structure.
+
+DSA_SIG_free() returns no value.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+L<dsa(3)|dsa(3)>, L<err(3)|err(3)>, L<DSA_do_sign(3)|DSA_do_sign(3)>
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+DSA_SIG_new() and DSA_SIG_free() were added in OpenSSL 0.9.3.
