I thought their interface was good enough to do all of the obvious
operations -- RSA block encrypt and decrypt being the most important --
and that this restriction was just to prevent bizarrelly hacked
versions of their code from being confused with the original.

Let me know if I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.

You are wrong.  The interface does *not* give you RSA Block
De/Encrypt.
