New switch for jdk keytool command

[Rich Midwinter]

Hi

I'd like to see a new switch added to keytool to initialise an empty
keystore, for which I've attached a first shot at a patch.

Could someone point me in the right direction to see if this can be
included (on the assumption this email alone isn't sufficient).

Thanks
Rich
