Rich Salz a528d4f0a9 Remove SSLeay history, etc., from docs
If something was "present in all versions" of SSLeay, or if it was
added to a version of SSLeay (and therefore predates OpenSSL),
remove mention of it.  Documentation history now starts with OpenSSL.

Remove mention of all history before OpenSSL 0.9.8, inclusive.

Remove all AUTHOR sections.

=head1 NAME
DSA_do_sign, DSA_do_verify - raw DSA signature operations
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#include <openssl/dsa.h>
DSA_SIG *DSA_do_sign(const unsigned char *dgst, int dlen, DSA *dsa);
int DSA_do_verify(const unsigned char *dgst, int dgst_len,
DSA_SIG *sig, DSA *dsa);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
DSA_do_sign() computes a digital signature on the B<len> byte message
digest B<dgst> using the private key B<dsa> and returns it in a
newly allocated B<DSA_SIG> structure.
L<DSA_sign_setup(3)> may be used to precompute part
of the signing operation in case signature generation is
time-critical.
DSA_do_verify() verifies that the signature B<sig> matches a given
message digest B<dgst> of size B<len>. B<dsa> is the signer's public
key.
=head1 RETURN VALUES
DSA_do_sign() returns the signature, NULL on error. DSA_do_verify()
returns 1 for a valid signature, 0 for an incorrect signature and -1
on error. The error codes can be obtained by
L<ERR_get_error(3)>.
