   Note that most signature algorithms follow a process of first hashing the
   plaintext data to be signed, creating a payload format that wraps the hash
   value (among other things), and then signing the payload with the private
   key.  So, for example, an EMSA3(SHA1) signature outputted by QCA cannot be
   verified by merely performing RSA and SHA1 operations (e.g.
   "openssl rsautl -verify" and comparing with sha1sum), because that would not
   take the EMSA3 payload format into consideration.

       Normally you would just test if the capability is present, however
       for PKey, you also need to test which types of keys are available.
       So if you want to figure out if RSA keys are supported, you need to

if(!QCA::isSupported("pkey") ||

else
{
    // there is RSA key support
}

       checks for basic functionality. If you want to check that
       you can do operations with PEM or DER (eg toPEM(), fromPEM(), and
       the equivalent DER and PEMfile operations, plus anything else
       that uses them, including the constructor form that takes a
       fileName), then you need to check for supportedIOTypes() instead.

       Test what types of keys are supported for IO operations

       to check for appropriate support using this method. For example,
       if you want to check if you can export or import an RSA key, then
       you need to do something like:
       \code
if(!QCA::isSupported("pkey") ||

       Note that if you only want to check for basic functionality
       (ie not PEM or DER import/export), then you can use
       supportedTypes().  There is no need to use both - if the key type
       is supported for IO, then is also supported for basic operations.
