 <pre wrap="">1. Can XMLSec bind a crypto engine dynamic?</pre>

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-&lt;crypto&gt; where
&lt;crypto&gt; 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 :)

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.
