These are both very cool. Care to add some links to the main gcj web
page? Hint, hint...

PR 7416. At startup we reference a file called "GNU libgcj.security".
The fix is to add the VM shortname feature we talked about a couple
weeks ago.
PR 3065. Our java.security doesn't implement aliases. Or if it does,
nobody told me and we should just close the PR -- I haven't dug into
the security code since around the time I submitted this PR.
