I want to second Dan's comment here that the libcurl part was perfect, but the
curl tool end is not really that convenient. How would a user even get the
md5sum for the public key? With an option like this, won't we also need an
option that can store the key this way for use at later invokes?

I like the patch and I think we should work on getting it added!

I think it would make the most sense to support the openssh format of that
file then. Don't you?

Oh, and a little nit about the code style in the patch... There were multiple
lines longer than 80 columns:
