I've changed the registration to use a Callable to produce the Terminal 
instances instead of registering the Terminal classes:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8080679/webrev.05/full/
delta:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8080679/webrev.05/delta/

(I used Callable rather than Supplier, as Callable allows to throw an 
exception from the call method.)

How does this look?

Thanks,
