Minor corrections to documentation. * speed processes any/all options passed to it, not just one. * DH and DSA have no "_get_method()" functions, only RSA does. * typos.

important information about how these DSA API functions are affected by the use
of B<ENGINE> API calls.
Initially, the default DSA_METHOD is the OpenSSL internal implementation,
as returned by DSA_OpenSSL().
DSA_set_default_method() makes B<meth> the default method for all DSA
structures created later. B<NB>: This is true only whilst no ENGINE has
been set as a default for DSA, so this function is no longer recommended.

DSA_set_method() selects B<meth> to perform all operations using the key
B<rsa>. This will replace the DSA_METHOD used by the DSA key and if the
previous method was supplied by an ENGINE, the handle to that ENGINE will
be released during the change. It is possible to have DSA keys that only
work with certain DSA_METHOD implementations (eg. from an ENGINE module
that supports embedded hardware-protected keys), and in such cases
attempting to change the DSA_METHOD for the key can have unexpected

DSA_new_method() allocates and initializes a DSA structure so that B<engine>
will be used for the DSA operations. If B<engine> is NULL, the default engine
for DSA operations is used, and if no default ENGINE is set, the DSA_METHOD
controlled by DSA_set_default_method() is used.
