FIPS-140 approved curves?

EC_get_builtin_curves() will give you a list of supported curves. 
However, in a FIPS-140 installation, EVP_EC_gen() appears to reject most
of them.  (Oddly, saying "unknown group".)

And even for the 15 that EVP_EC_gen() accepts, several (B-163, K-163,
P-192) can't be used for signing certificates and requests.  (Says
"Curve X-yyy cannot be used for signing".)

Is there an easy way to get a list of FIPS-140 approved curves that can
be used for signing certificates and requests, or do you have to try
each one and see if it works?
