Well the problem is not the S/MIME code itself, as it merely leverages on the 
BouncyCastle api for the crypto-routines. 
The fact that we bundle BouncyCastle is actually the real problem. 

Why not have users download BC themselves (like with JavaMail and JAF), this 
would avoid the BXA issues.

This is also the approach chosen by "Apache XML Security", see bottom of this
