I don't think keytool needs to be altered.  We could however have NSS support
enabled out of the box.  We are in a better position than Sun in that we are
not distributing proprietary standalone binaries, and can instead depend on
NSS.  Thus, it seems, from reading these blogs, that we could detect NSS using
autoconf and generate the configuration, rather than leaving it to the end
user.

The other issue is that Fedora's NSS doesn't have elliptic curve support.  This
needs fixing in Fedora with the bug Jon mentioned.

You'll be glad to know that a pure Java implementation of elliptic curve
cryptography is slated for JDK7;
