i am not on IRC, so forgive me if this has been discussed there, but could you
briefly explain the benefit of replacing the dependency on SystemProperties to
a dependency on gnu.java.security.action?  specifically, how can that achieve
the goal of producing standalone providers (i.e. for use by VMs not using GNU
Classpath).


what would be very helpful is to be able to produce, at least, two separate
jars: one containing the strong stuff (classes and algorithms in
gnu.javax.crypto), and another for Jessie.  this can be of immediate use to
those packaging GNU Classpath with their applications under export-restricted
conditions.

achieving this is much simpler since any dependencies on the main GNU Classpath
classes can remain as-is, and the problem is reduced to:

a. producing 3 or more jars (incl. the main GNU Classpath one), and
b. ensuring that classes from the additional jars are found at runtime.


does this sound reasonable?
