Hmm. Not sure at this point. I'd like to give it sometime to settle in
to 8.0.x first.

More so folks could see how the solution evolved.

Can you point me to that discussion (where no doubt I will have taken
completely the opposite position to the one I am about to take).

Build time dependencies don't bother me as long as:
- they are required for release (so we don't break things)
- they are optional for other build targets (so folks can still build a
working instance without them)

So I'd be +1 for BcryptCredentialHandler that shipped with Tomcat but
required the user to manually add one or more JARs to make it work.

I'm leaning towards "in the source tree" but if you wanted to put it
somewhere else, the wiki is as good as anywhere.
