Now *there's* a good idea. Ship the firmware and firmware loader and
have the user generate a public/private pair when using the key for the
first time.

The firmware loader is a trivial C program at present, which takes an
ELF and can do variable substitution on it before dumping the resulting
binary into the device.

I'd have to ship the devices without boxing them; the enclosure I found
is pretty hard to open up to get at the reflashing connections.
