Subject: Add a STANDARDS section and mention the relevant section of the
 standard. Link to X509_ALGOR_new(3) because one of the functions uses
 X509_ALGOR. Delete a sentence about a function we don't have. Delete another
 sentence that says nothing new. Remove some macros that we don't normally
 use.
