I've written scripts to generate DKIM records and it is indeed a little
tricky.  The first thing that bites you is that tinydns-data uses colons
as punctuation, so you have to escape them as \072.  Then when you fix
that, the next thing that bites you is that \072 is four characters so if
you just do a strlen() on the string, you'll get the wrong length.

I concur with everyone else that if you give tinydns-data and tinydns
correct input, they'll serve correct DNS.
