Add --with-crypto=nss and ability to use NSS's HMAC library

(Using Fedora's bugzilla to submit patches to upstream fipscheck is a little weird :-/)

The attached patch adds the ability to configure/build fipscheck using NSS's HMAC library.  To use this feature, specify --with-crypto=nss when configuring fipscheck.

Tested by creating hmac files with fipshmac/openssl and verifying them with fipscheck/nss and vice versa.

this feature helps FIPS certifications of libreswan on embedded systems that don't use openssl. (yes they exist :)
Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2016-03-24 10:35:50 UTC 
To me it would be preferable to use kernel AF_ALG support instead, this way we could avoid any library dependency.

As best I know, that only helps systems using a recent Linux kernel.
Comment 4 Tomas Mraz 2016-04-07 14:32:52 UTC 
The AF_ALG support is in Linux kernel for quite long time. However you're right that it is a Linux-only thing. Is libreswan supported on other kernels?
Comment 5 Paul Wouters 2016-04-07 15:55:41 UTC 
It supports the PF_KEY API which is the API on all platforms except linux
Comment 6 Jan Kurik 2016-07-26 05:09:09 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.
