if by distributions you mean the different VMs that use Classpath then 
this file is not much different than for example classpath.security,

i believe "Open SSL" has a similar, albeit much more versatile, tool as 
Java's keytool: openssl.  if a system administrator is already using 
openssl, i doubt that she would use keytool as well --but i could be 
wrong.
