Rich Salz 65718c516e Document most missing options
Add cmd-nits make target.

Listing options should stop when it hits the "parameters" separator.

Add missing .pod.in files to doc/man1/build.info

Tweak find-doc-nits to try openssl-XXX before XXX for POD files and
change an error messavge to be more useful.

Fix the following pages: ca, cms, crl, dgst, enc,
engine, errstr, gendsa, genrsa, list, ocsp, passwd, pkcs7, pkcs12, rand,
rehash, req, rsautil, s_server, speed, s_time,
sess_id, smime, srp, ts, x509.

=head1 NAME
openssl-engine - load and query engines
=head1 SYNOPSIS
B<openssl engine>
[B<-help>]
[B<-v>]
[B<-vv>]
[B<-vvv>]
[B<-vvvv>]
[B<-c>]
[B<-t>]
[B<-tt>]
[B<-pre> I<command>] ...
[B<-post> I<command>] ...
[I<engine> ...]
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This command is used to query the status and capabilities
of the specified I<engine>s.
Engines may be specified before and after all other command-line flags.
Only those specified are queried.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
=item B<-help>
Display an option summary.
=item B<-v> B<-vv> B<-vvv> B<-vvvv>
Provides information about each specified engine. The first flag lists
all the possible run-time control commands; the second adds a
description of each command; the third adds the input flags, and the
final option adds the internal input flags.
=item B<-c>
Lists the capabilities of each engine.
=item B<-t>
Tests if each specified engine is available, and displays the answer.
=item B<-tt>
Displays an error trace for any unavailable engine.
=item B<-pre> I<command>
=item B<-post> I<command>
Command-line configuration of engines.
The B<-pre> command is given to the engine before it is loaded and
the B<-post> command is given after the engine is loaded.
The I<command> is of the form I<cmd>:I<val> where I<cmd> is the command,
and I<val> is the value for the command.
See the example below.
These two options are cumulative, so they may be given more than once in the
same command.
