I wanted to give this an ACK ... but I think we should just remove it
all together as we seem to be in a broken state already.

/usr/sbin/openvpn --dev tun --local 192.168.122.1 --lport 1194 \
         --remote 192.168.122.100 --rport 194 \
         --secret ../../sample/sample-keys/ta.key 0 \
         --ifconfig 10.8.0.10 10.8.0.20 --verb 3 \
         --key-method 1
Options error: Parameter key_method can only be specified in TLS-mode,
i.e. where --tls-server or --tls-client is also specified.
Use --help for more information.

That is with /usr/sbin/openvpn --version:
OpenVPN 2.3.11 x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu [SSL (OpenSSL)] [LZO] [EPOLL]
[PKCS11] [MH] [IPv6] built on May 10 2016

So unless I messed up my simple and stupid static key p2p mode tunnel,
this doesn't work at all with v2.3.  And git master haven't "fixed"
this issue.

If nobody noticed this by now, then nobody really uses --key-method.
