Totally agree. Howard, would you prefer to merge your stuff in here or just delete this method?

The IdP only uses the "prepare" end of the POST profile class. I
believe that the currently-under-development Java SP implementation
uses a completely separate class for this functionality.

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.
