The less code we have the better.  Most of our algorithm types
have a single test function, I have seen no reason why kpp should
be different.

akcipher has been an anomaly and I'm fixing it right now.

Now that the secret is encoded to a format under our control, you
can generate byte-stream test vectors for both DH and ECDH using the
same format.  So there is no need to have test functions specific to
one algorithm.

Cheers,
