As you point out, ovs-controller speaks OpenFlow, but not the management 
protocol. You can put ovs-vsctl in a server mode to sort of get basic 
ovs-controller-like behavior. There's an example of doing this in the BUGS 
section of the ovs-controller man page. Obviously you'd need to provide options 
to set STP instead of a controller
