A:1 countries are our friends. E:1 countries are "terrorists". The rest are in between. There is also the list of "Supplement 3" exception countries (friends): see last page of http://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/forms-documents/doc_downloa...

I assume vxWorks is 5E002 (tools to create non-standard crypto systems), which is banned for D:1 countries. Well there is an exception "‐ 5E002: no D:1 countries (unless HQ'd in Supp. 3)".
