It's very useful because it means that pubkey auth only requires one
file to function, instead of two as is the case right now. HUGE
usability improvement IMO for all apps using libssh2. Also it makes a
lot of sense because the pubkey is simply a subset of the privkey.

I think the patch will linger until someone has time to fix it up a
bit. I personally want this in libssh2 a great deal for my use case
but I am still not using libssh2 yet so.. :)
