error messages are currently wrong, and Pageant doesn't yet support
the new key type, and I haven't thoroughly tested that falling back
to password authentication and trying invalid keys etc all work. But
what I have here has successfully performed a public key
authentication, so it's working to at least some extent.

smalloc() macros and thence to the safemalloc() functions in misc.c.
This should allow me to plug in a debugging allocator and track
memory leaks and segfaults and things.

the primegen() function doesn't work well with <100 bits, so RSA
keys need to be >=200 to be generated correctly, and I thought 256
was a nice round number beyond that just to be sure. Perhaps I
should also have a security warning on any key less than 768; or
perhaps I should let people shoot themselves in the feet if they
really want to.

features (prompt for passphrase twice, prompt before overwriting a
file, check the key file was actually saved OK), testing of the
generated keys to make sure I got the file format right, and support
for a variable key size. I think what's already here is basically
sound though.
