As of 1.2beta1, we still aren't compatible. I've made changes in the latest
build so that we can parse and verify Netscape signed jars, assuming that you
have installed a security provider that supports RSA.

The JDK itself (as well as Sun's JCE) does not support RSA.

Unforutately our docs on the manifest format are still out of date
and are in need a re-write. Its on the todo list.
