The existing functionality reuses an EC_KEY structure and generates a new key. We can't really change this because any application relying on that would end up getting the same key back instead of a new one.
However I think a separate function which calculates the public key based on the set private key is a good idea. This may well make it into 1.1.0. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson.
