Though I recently had a valid reason; I was in posession of a very old
legacy RSA-keypair which I created quite a long time ago with PGP
2.something.

I just wanted to revoke that key, but in order to create the revocation
certificate I had to search my way through all defunct websites,
outdated documentation and borked plugins/DLLs for IDEA.
On a sidenote, I only managed to get it running on Windows, which I take
as an personal insult ;)

Whatever, my point is that documentation as such is not bad. I think you
can migrate your old IDEA-encumbered RSA-Key to one which uses a
non-patented algorithm - didn't follow that idea 'cause I just wanted to
revoke anyway.
But that'd be worthy a couple of lines, wouldn't it?

Alex.
