Yes it should be implemented in a future version of OpenSSL. For now you
have to manually edit the .key file.

Yes, you're right. It is possible to import separate key/cert. It is only
the export than only supports the '.key' format.
You state in the 'rsa' manual pages that you consider implementing an option
to handle '.key' files without having to manually edit them.
Is this still considered in future OpenSSL releases or has it been dropped?
