Seems like we should probably either *use* that class, suitably fixed, in
the Java SP, or redo the APIs. It's confusing to have dead code lying
around.

I know all those classes need to be redone, but I figured we'd do that as
part of merging in the SP code. They need to change anyway to better emulate
the pluggable metadata/trust stuff, unless there's a reason why that should
be different than the C++, but I don't see why.
