A couple more questions about FIPS mode:

1. In the OpenSSL FIPS FAQ (<http://oss-institute.org/fips-faq.html>), it
says "Note that it is not compliant with the security policy of FIPS
validated OpenSSL to use shared libraries." What exactly does this mean?
Does it mean that your app cannot use shared libraries at all, or that the
OpenSSL code can't be included in a shared library, or that the OpenSSL code
can't be in a shared library by itself, or something else?

2. Where exactly is the security policy document? The FAQ contains a link
(<http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/140-1/1401val2003.htm>), but this lists a
bunch of documents, none of which appears to be the correct one.
