Build the FIPS openSSL module in accordance with the directions on site.

The library has to be put into "FIPS mode" at runtime with a call from
the application.

You can't change that if you must have "FIPS validated" -

But if you only need "FIPS compliant" - 
Then you can modify the build directions rather than find some way to 
stick the "FIPS mode" call into the closed application.
