Wei Dai, Thanks for the info...this is certainly good news for my project. Based on this news, I think that we'll keep moving forward with Crypto++ rather than switch to an already approved module.
BTW, what configuration(s) are being certified? As far as FIPS 140-2 certification is concerned, how much does the platform really matter?

The testing lab received the first round of comments from NIST and is responding to them. Hopefully there will not need to be a second round, in which case we may be able to get the certificate in about a month.
