The older gendsa source didn't work. This is fixed in OpenSSL 0.9.2 and
there is now a gendsa utility.
In older versions of SSLeay there is an undocumented -genkey flag to
dsaparam which will generate a DSA private key:
dsaparam -in param1024.pem -out key.pem -genkey
You can also include the -noout argument if you just want the private
key to be output and not the parameters as well. The private key will
not be encrypted so you should use the 'dsa' utility to encrypt it.
