WORKING COPY httpd/branches/ssl-fips-dev

 This sandbox is for development around the FIPS 140-2 standard as implemented
 by Ben Laurie and team of OpenSSL with the 0.9.7 verisons.  The effort for
 OpenSSL FIPS certification is coordinated by the Open Source Software
 Institute.  OpenSSL 0.9.7 is in the process of certification testing.  See:

 http://oss-institute.org/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=109

 The crypto layer, itself, is the object of certification.  In this case,
 that is encompased in libcrypto.so.  But libcrypto.so needs to be told to
 enforce FIPS 140 policy, and mod_ssl needs to be adjusted to the FIPS 140
 subset of permitted cryptography.

 This effort is initially coordinated by Ben Laurie and Will Rowe; of course
 all voulenteers and feedback are welcome.
