David,

Would it be possible to include my make-dns-cert.sh shell script with GPG? 
It solves both the problems of the existing tool being a 
not-built-by-default binary, as well as modernizes the DNS record formats 
used, heavily, and is easily used by people who have installed GPG via a 
package.
