So, the part of your patch:
[...]
Your use case here is to generate a new params file which has in it
only a stored key?
Partially, yes -- for that case, the patch makes cgdconfig produce a
single storedkey entry with the actual key, deterministically. I had
a few ideas in mind for this (which had to do with writing test cases
for cgdconfig, verifying the pass phrase with `cgdconfig -G', &c.),
but it's not important.
The other purpose of that part of the patch is to call params_verify
before keygen_generate. As is, `cgdconfig -G' with a pass phrase key
generation method emits a spurious warning, and there may be other
related problems too.
