If I understand the texts Branden quoted, you do not need to actively
check that.
Furthermore, at least some software in non-non-US (containing DES, for
example) is already in the "export-everywhere-exept-Libya" category,
so this point is pretty moot. Either we breach the regulations
already, by possibly exporting libcrypt to Libya, or we won't have
problems with possibly exporting netscape-US.
