Sorry, the example was all messed up, even if it did communicate what
I wanted its just so broken I must fix.

Slightly contrived example:

   buildAgreementMessage :: (Monad m, CryptoRandomGen g,
ASymetricCipher k) => g -> k -> m (B.ByteString, (k,k), g)
   buildAgreementMessages g k = do
       ((p,q),g') <- eitherToFail (buildKeyPair g)
       let pBS = encode p
           msg = runPut $ do
                       putByteString agreementHeader
                       putWord16be (B.length pBS)
                       putByteString pBS
       return $ (sign msg k, (p,q), g')

Again, this is simply trying to re-enforce the fact that buildKeyPair
(formerly 'generateKeyPair') does have a place.

Cheers,
Thomas
