As Sherman and David said, we need to think through any potential 
compatibility issues (it may be the right thing to do but is there any 
potential to break something?). Also should we be looking at LOGNAME or 
USER to get the value of the user.name property and so avoid looking up 
the password entry? We've had issues with folks with odd configurations 
where the value of the user.name or user.home properties defaults "?" 
when then run with a 32-bit JDK on a 64-bit system.

One other thing is that we should try to include a test with all changes 
if possible. I think it should be possible here.
