1. Can XMLSec bind a crypto engine dynamic?
I would say "yes" on *nixes and "probably" on Windows. Unfortunatelly,
there are some linking problems with Windows and right now the
xmlsec for windows is compiled as one big library (on *nixes there
are two libraries: xmlsec and xmlsec-<crypto> where <crypto> is "openssl",
"nss", "gnutls",....).
However, I don't think that it's impossible to solve these problems. It should
be a matter of tweaking Windows makefiles and may be some export defines
redefinition (I like this phrase :) )
And I accept patches :)

2. Is there a cryto-engine-implement guide?

  
Unfortunatelly, "no". This is in my definite "todo" list for the release.
However, you might find this interesting (do not forget to click on the
"Figure N" links):

Currently, there are 3 engines supported: OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS.
The support for the last two is limited and could be used as a starting point
(skeleton) for new development.
