I will be glad to submit patch for CA.sh, since, on quick review, it 
indeed has same two problems as CA.pl; i.e.
    1) It prints "success" messages, even on failure of underlying SSL 
command(s), and
    2) The usage message in lacking the newer, added valid arguments,

This will probably require 24-48 hours, since I have travel commitment 
tomorrow.

OTOH, my assertion that my original patch for CA.pl 'fixes bug which 
prevents executing -newreq-nodes option' is WRONG.  I badly misread that 
code in order to conclude what I did; i.e. the original code does 
execute both -newreq and -newreq-nodes options correctly.

Note the patch still correctly executes both options, and both did 
incorrectly print "success" message even on failure of underlying SSL 
command.  For this reason, I would prefer to leave the patch intact, and 
simply change the second part of the description to only "Also includes 
newer options in usage message".  If you prefer, I can submit revised 
patch file that does not re-order the testing of command-args vs 
patterns /^-newreq$/ and/^-newreq-nodes$/.
