Currently this command-line tool depends on having openssl installed on the user's machine. This is common enough, especially for the target audience, that I don't believe it'll be a major issue - but it could cause unexpected errors and is not current documented.

It might be nice to explore the ability to write the same functionality using Swift - there are many existing wrappers (https://swiftpackageindex.com/keywords/openssl) which could potentially work.

Move numbits parameters to end of command call
44a5e06 
Documentation for OpenSSL suggests that this unnamed parameter should be at the end of the command call, where we had it in the middle. While this has been working fine for me, it was raised in issue #6 that this was breaking for some installations of OpenSSL.

This potentially backs the work in issue #3 to replace OpenSSL usage with a standardised Swift library - removing versions from the mix.

Have locally built authority and leaf, working fine with change. Unsure if addresses issue though as can't reproduce.
