Your question has gone unanswered for quite a while now which is in itself an answer :P I Think its fair to assume that this is something that simply hasn't been implemented yet. There is only a very small group of developers working on libssh2 so this is not a surprise. If you feel like doing the work, a patch would be very welcome. IIRC the public-key-auth functions leave someting to be desired. For instance they require both the public and private keys to be passed when it should really be possible to derive the former from the latter. Not what you wanted to hear, I imagine.
