[xmlsec] FAQ 1.3

Hi,

I suggest that FAQ 1.3 ("Can I use xmlsec with a GNU GPL library?") be 
updated.  Although I don't know the details of the gnutls and nss engine 
limitations compared to openssl, they should at least be mentioned as 
alternatives.  Certainly gnutls is GPL compatible, and nss is intended 
to be but perhaps is not (see 
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217162).

By the way, the current thinking within the Debian organization is that 
the GPL loophole is *not* sufficient to allow use of openssl by a GPL'd 
application.

Regards,
-John
