    You seem to want any one user from the set of share holders to be able to
    decrypt, but still have a single public key. However do you care if share
    holders can compute each other's shares? Bear in mind you can't revoke
    shares without changing the public key. If you're not trying to hide shares
    from other share holders (shares are just random numbers and not worth
    protecting in themselves), what about having the share holders sharing the
    private key?
