Frustration with method based on EVP_PKEY_METHOD

2010-07-08 Thread Jeff Saremi
The structure itself is only forward-declared meaning that a programmer has no way of getting into the actual evp_pkey_method_st and its fields. Now that would be fine if there were a complete set of methods EVP_PKEY_meth_* to manipulate the pointers to EVP_PKEY_METHOD. But alas there's only a few.
