Description

This came up in ACCUMULO-1009, but also may affect ACCUMULO-998.

The dev/crypto.html is from the last version in 2010, which has changed based on some legal-discuss items I read.

Initial thoughts are:
ACCUMULO-998 is fine because we do not ship ANY crypto modules with that, just an interface to use them
ACCUMULO-1009 is not fine IF we bundle bouncycastle in with us.
