[IVY-1553] PGP signing during publication shouldn't require bouncy castle dependencies to be in .ant/lib or forking another java process with classpath explicitly configured to contain bouncy castle modules

Description

With
<signers>
<pgp name="default-sig" keyId="${pgp.key}" password="${pgp.password}"/>
</signers>
in ivysettings.xml,
ivy kept throwing CNFE until i put these dependencies in .ant/lib:
<dependency org="org.bouncycastle" name="bcpg-jdk15on" rev="1.49" conf="default"/>
<dependency org="org.bouncycastle" name="bcprov-jdk15on" rev="1.49" conf="default"/>

I ended up putting the following comment in ivy.xml:
<!-- First 2 currently must be in .ant/lib (pgp signer didn't work via dependency or ivycache manipulation, etc). -->

P.S. I believe this issue is ongoing since 2012/13.
