Interesting point, thanks.  (I had considered the more general problem
of library updates, but I deemed the likelyhood of sha1.c needing
updates to be low)

Haven't dealt with FIPS in many years, but I *thought* that in the
past you had to do a full certification anyway if you dynamically
linked.  Am I wrong about that?
