Sounds like an option.

I see the issue you point out with regards to the **void pointers. How about 
two additional **char that allow the the hook to
return pointers to a PEM encoded string? Of course that would not solve cases 
where the key is stored in a special device that
does not expose it but only allow it to be used for encryption / decryption.
