 When I first started working with clients, Rony gave me a copy of reserved.c already compiled... All I had to do to include the functionality within my client was to link it in with the rest of the code.

 I should think for using RSA with the Server this should be possible to do.
The client side piece would be more difficult because the mkkey obfuscates the code so that it is not easy for someone to extract the private key from the client.

 Wouldn't need a shared library, just some sort of library you could link into your code statically would be useful.
