I wouldn't worry toooo much about 1.4. It has a lot of issues,
including only supporting single DES encryption types. The only
"current" platform I deal with that uses 1.4 is Solaris 9, and it's
pretty easy to provide a newer JVM on a Sun.

Ideally the code should provide reasonable (overwriteable) defaults
wherever possible.

More later.
