It would be good to import some of Cryptix's security providers. However,
according to the Cryptix FAQ, some of it would be subject to US export
regulations and so would not be able to be downloaded from a server in
the US. We'd need to be careful about which algorithms were included. I
guess it would be ok (and make sense) to import an equivalent set of
providers to those included with Sun's JDK.
