OpenSSL 0.9.8i does not have the fips code in it. Currently, one must
download one of the snapshots from ftp://ftp.openssl.org/snapshot/
(one of the openssl-0.9.8-stable-SNAP-*.tar.gz files) to build a
library that can use the FIPS canister.
The last word from Dr. Henson is that 0.9.8j is delayed for a while
more; that full release will also have the FIPS-usage code.
