Create root RSA key pair

Please wrap your lines at 60-70 characters, thanx.

AFAIK, GnuPG can do everything with RSA keys, except generating
them. You may even use optionally IDEA and your signed/encrypted
messages are PGP-2.x compatible.

You may use your old PGP generated RSA keys, though.

Also, you should ask yourself why you don't want to use
DSA/ElGamal keys.
