I'm in favor of removing it. Unused obsolete code should just go away... IMO it would have been fine to delete it when you checked in the patch to switch over. (In cases where were concerned that we might want to roll back, we can just make a cvs tag before the big rearrangement...)

Otherwise, on Linux platforms, we're unlikely to see any testing of the java providers at all (since iconv there tends to be pretty featureful). Furthermore I think, at least initially, it is fine to have this simply be hard-coded. If some VM needs a Configuration.java flag or a system property, we can add it easily enough on demand.
