OpenSSL *source* to get FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certification

[Rich Salz]

This is termendously exciting.  For the first time ever, NIST will be 
certifying a FIPS 140 implementation based on the source code.  As long 
as the "pedigree" of the source is tracked, and checked at run-time, 
then applications can claim FIPS certification.
