Run test vectors:
1. Download an appropriate set of testvectors from www.openssl.org/docs/fips
those for 2007 are OK.
only the fips-2.0 testvector files are usable for complete tests.
2. Extract the files to a suitable directory.
3. Run the test vector perl script, for example:
cd fips
perl fipsalgtest.pl --disable-v2 --dir=/wherever/stuff/was/extracted
perl fipsalgtest.pl --dir=/wherever/stuff/was/extracted

failures.
If you wish to use the older 1.2.x testvectors (for example those from 2007)
you need the command line switch --disable-v2 to fipsalgtest.pl

The fipslagtest.pl script wont auto run new algorithm tests such as DSA2.
Code needs extensively reviewing to ensure it builds correctly on
supported platforms and is compliant with FIPS 140-2.
The "FIPS capable OpenSSL" is still largely untested, it builds and runs
