Comment 3 for bug 376051

The modulus patch confuses me a bit. It seems to be a faithful reimplementation of "openssl rsa -modulus" and "openssl dsa -modulus", but *those* options make little sense to me. Or rather, the RSA version makes sense, since RSA keys have something that can be referred to as a "modulus" with little confusion. Why you would make up the name "modulus" for the "public key components" of a DSA key is beyond me, though.

A use case would probably help clarify things. Meanwhile, I'll apply the `check` patch and resolve this ticket and push the `modulus` part to a branch so it can be dealt with easily when someone understands it. :)
