Implement self-signing in 'openssl ca'. This makes it easier to have

the CA certificate part of the CA database, and combined with
'unique_subject=no', it should make operations like CA certificate
roll-over easier.

Changes between 0.9.7a and 0.9.8 [xx XXX xxxx]
*) Make it possible to create self-signed certificates with 'openssl ca'
in such a way that the self-signed certificate becomes part of the
CA database and uses the same mechanisms for serial number generation
as all other certificate signing. The new flag '-selfsign' enables
this functionality. Adapt CA.sh and CA.pl.in.
[Richard Levitte]
*) Add functionality to check the public key of a certificate request
against a given private. This is useful to check that a certificate
request can be signed by that key (self-signing).

4. Creating a self-signed certificate
4. Creating a self-signed test certificate
If you don't want to deal with another certificate authority, or just

certificate authority of your own, you may want to make the requested
certificate a self-signed one. This is similar to creating a
certificate request, but creates a certificate instead of a
