For a task like this one, where we wrap a command/tool which has too many
permutations/combinations, plus no real specification to follow, I think it's
better to support a generic <arg>s element for it.

As for validation of these specified args, in context of this and similar
(keytool based) tasks, I am not too sure we doing that validation, by exposing
specific attribute names to the task, adds much value. What I mean is,
ultimately we end up doing almost the same set of validations that keytool
would have done. Plus, recent bug/enhancement reports show that keytool has too
many permutations of arguments that behave differently in context of what the
command is, adding to the complexity of such validations.
