Caught j-rod and pjones on IRC who had the following insights:
* Each binary is supposed to perform an integrity check of itself when it
starts. So each binary needs to be able to find its hmac file.
* hazy recollection is that fipscheck is meant to check the integrity of any
binray with checksums. So we do need to use a directory structure that
fipscheck can use to find the checksums.
If I could get some input from the people who actually deal with fipscheck
and this standard, that this is the way forward, I'll write up the
Guidelines.
