This patch adds methods importKey() to DSA module
and exportKey() to _DSAobj object.
Public and private keys can be imported/exported
in a variety of formats:
* DER vs PEM
* PKCS#8 vs OpenSSL vs OpenSSH/OpenSSL
* Encrypted vs clear
Typical usage for importing an RSA key:
f = file("ssl.pem")
key = RSA.importKey(f.read())
f.close()
key.verify(hash, signature)
Typical usage for exporting an RSA public key:
key = RSA.generate(512, randfunc)
f = file("ssl.der","w")
f.write(key.publickey.exportKey('DER'))
f.close()

In an attempt to simplify the copyright status of PyCrypto, I'm placing my
code into the public domain, and encouraging other contributors to do the
same.
I have used a public domain dedication that was recommended in a book on FOSS legal
issues[1], followed by the warranty disclaimer boilerplate from the MIT license.

This will avoid the previous situation where scripts like the old "test.py"
get included accidentally in a release. It also frees us to put additional
build scripts in the top-level directory of the source tree.
