On one hand, I agree that this would be a stunningly useful idea as
well!  On the other hand, allowing users to (possibly by mistake)
overwrite part of the shipped JDK install is a bad idea.  But it would
have been nice if they had included clear doc as to how and where the
various endorsed standards impls were packaged and why, instead of
lumping the single rt.jar file together.

Hmmm - I wonder how other JDK vendors will package this stuff?  8-)
