Re: [PATCH] Allow corosync-keygen to create keyfile not in the hardcoded location. Also allow it to run without root if not default location for file is used. Minor cosmetic fixes to the man-page.

Honestly, I don't see any relation between corosync-keygen and
corosync_overview. In corosync_overview, it's clear:

The *corosync executive process* uses four environment variables *during
startup*.

corosync-keygen is just totally different tool. You can generate key on
your own (dd) or (and this is usually the case) you just copy from other
node.

I believe this is acceptable inconsistency. Actually, using key
generator with given keyfile is just ... weird. It's like dd taking
parameter from env.
