So long as the option exists, I'm happy. I think it's a reasonable idea
to try to auto-detect it by default.

Whoops, I never meant to send the code to you with those in it.
The latter one no longer applies, it's resolved.
The first one isn't important for now. The main use case is if you want
to add additional trusted certs without "hiding" the system trust
database. It's a separate task and now that it's possible to pass your
own TrustManager can be done by apps that need it without modifying
AbstractCertAuthFactory at all.
So both may be removed. Thanks for pointing that out.
I'll see if I can put together an example X509TrustManager that tries to
verify trust against an app-supplied KeyStore first and failing that
against the system store. I have one around that I can adapt, but won't
be able to do that immediately as I have to get on with other work.
