The short answer is libgcrypt's cipher/ecc-curves.c , see line 45/46 for
mapping of shortnames to OIDs. Now, I agree this should at least be
case-insensitive, but there might be a feature request open for that
already :)

Algorithm IDs are not directly tied to curves, so that would be more
related to Key-Type than Key-Curve (and corresponding subkey), not the OIDs.
