This tool generates veyron private identities (security.PrivateID) and dumps
the generated identity to STDOUT in base64-VOM-encoded format.

Typical usage:
* no flags
  A self-signed identity with a default name of <user>@<hostname> is generated,
  where <user> is the username of the currently logged-in user and <hostname> is
  the host name as reported by the kernel.

* --name NAME
  A self-signed identity for NAME will be generated and dumped to STDOUT

* --name NAME --blesser BLESSER
  BLESSER must be the path to a readable file (or - for STDIN) containing a
  base64-VOM-encoded security.PrivateID that will be used to generate an
  identity with NAME as the blessing name.

* --interpret INTERPRET
  INTERPRET must be the path to a readable file (or - for STDIN) containing a
  base64-VOM-encoded security.PrivateID. This identity will decoded and
  some information will be printed to STDOUT.

For example:
%s --name "foo" | %s --name "bar" --blesser - | %s --interpret -
