One doesn't really need to use a public key for auth, right?
In my case, I have only the private key, which technically is sufficient to 
authenticate me (ssh -i pvtkeyfile ru...@rhost works).

I've been looking at that, too. The public key can be derived (extracted) from the private key, but that requires logic to do so. That logic is not available in libssh2, maybe because
it is not SSH, but crypto functionality.

As a workaround, some flavours of ssh-keygen or puttygen can extract the public key from
the private key and put it in a public key file to be used with libssh2.

I make do with this workaround for the time being, until me, you or someone else adds
this functionality to libssh2.
