One minor problem... d2i_PrivateKey doesn't exist!
DER encoded private keys are a bit of a problem because you can't
automatically tell the format (unlike PEM keys where you can read the
header lines). This means you have to know the format in advance so
you'd need separate versions for RSA, DSA, PKCS#8 unencrypted and PKCS#8
encryped.
