If you comment out the relevant line in the config file (openssl.cnf) which
specifies the extension section you should end up with a V1 certificate.

By default these are:

x509_extensions = usr_cert

in the CA_default section (used by 'ca')

and

x509_extensions = v3_ca

in the req section (used by 'req').
