Answer: Use google.

yields just under *four thousand* OpenSSL private key files. Admittedly some
of these are test keys, but it looks like many of them aren't.
(I doubt this is restricted to OpenSSL. If there was a way to search for
registry keys via Google, I'm sure we'd find a vast mass of IIS and whatnot
keys as well).
Peter (thanks to anon for the info).
