Dynamic Linking

Hello all.. i have a potentially complex question. I would like to use the
OpenSSL crypto library that is installed in OSX in an app of mine. I don't
want to statically link the library to my app. Since the library is part of the
core OS, Apple will update it when necessary and i'd like to take
advantage of that. I'd also like to avoid any legal problems with my app
and crypto export laws (i am no lawyer, but i'd rather be safe than sorry :). I
would like my app to be able to use the pre-installed OpenSSL library.
The only problem here is that i have no idea how to do such a thing.

To statically link a library, i'm pretty sure all you have to do is include the
header files and make sure the library's files are in the right place (which,
by the way, is where?).

To dynamically link a pre-installed library, what do i do? Do i need the
header files? Where do i put them?

Up until now i've only needed Cocoa to build apps; i'd like to expand my
programming expertise and would greatly appreciate any help anyone
could give. (Examples are very welcome :)
