Ah it doesn't support MQV. It supports the necessary algorithms for some suite
B standards such as RFC6460 (ECDH, ECDSA, SHA256, SHA384 and AES-GCM).

As I mentioned in the other message it doesn't yet support all the additional
suite B requirements. For example you can only sign using ECDSA+SHA256 with
P-256 curves whereas you can use any digest with OpenSSL.
