Hi,
I checked with a recent snapshot 1.0.0-stable, and found that although
the openssl commandline supports now sha224, sha256, sha384, and sha512
message digests, it still only prints these:

Message Digest commands (see the `dgst' command for more details)
md4               md5               mdc2              rmd160
sha               sha1

but 'openssl dgst x' gives:
-gost-mac       to use the gost-mac message digest algorithm
-md_gost94      to use the md_gost94 message digest algorithm
-md4            to use the md4 message digest algorithm
-md5            to use the md5 message digest algorithm
-mdc2           to use the mdc2 message digest algorithm
-ripemd160      to use the ripemd160 message digest algorithm
-sha            to use the sha message digest algorithm
-sha1           to use the sha1 message digest algorithm
-sha224         to use the sha224 message digest algorithm
-sha256         to use the sha256 message digest algorithm
-sha384         to use the sha384 message digest algorithm
-sha512         to use the sha512 message digest algorithm
-whirlpool      to use the whirlpool message digest algorithm

so seems there are a couple of digests missing ...

BTW. is there a right way to get help from openssl commandline instead
of just producing an error?

thanks, Günter.
