i tested gnu-crypto with the above JCE implementation and all works 
fine!

i checked in the patch.  for the time being:

a. you need to run ./admin.sh conf (or the auto* trilogy), in the gcj/ 
directory, and
b. add $(path-to-installed-jce-lib) to your $LD_LIBRARY_PATH before 
making the shared reloadable gnu-crypto.

yes i agree with you.  how about only generating and bundling them in 
the deliverables when we make a distribution?


thanks for taking the time to put together the BC code :-)
