Sorry for being lazy, but could you point me towards the document that
defines the SECSH key formats?
It may be that implementing supporting for that format is easier than
reading PEM files, and if it is easy to use SECSH keys with OpenSSH,
that seems like a better solution. I might implement that instead of
PEM file reading, or we could work together on that.

Well, I'd like to see that too, but can't speak for others. It is not
clear to me what is missing though. What isn't working according to
the RFC?
