It's not too different from the original code (it's just commented out); this is because I don't want it to be a chore to port from Botan to Boost.Botan. Also, it is intuitively designed and I see no reason to change it. Of course, if it needs redesigning, we can discuss that afterwards

Hi Chad,

Would it make sense to have privkey() return the private key by value?  
Is it non-copyable?
