jarsigner tool

Hi there,

I have looked into this area lately too. A jarsigner can well be
implemented without JKS and have a Provider plugged in for different
keystore formats. This would be done via the
java.security.KeyStore.getInstance() method AFAICS. I think this is what
Sun's jarsigner also does via the --provider and/or --storetype
arguments. So my opinion is that we should have a jarsignder
implementation that uses this API and the same options but a different
default
