The old build has not produced usable bits for several months, it may 
not have been failing but if you look closely (or run the tests) then 
you'll see that there are several things missing. On build-dev then 
you'll probably have seen a mail or two from me where I was trying to 
encourage the build group to set a date to finally retire and remove the 
old build - this is because the old build is just a tax on every change 
that needs to touch the build.

Anyway, the change looks okay but I strongly encourage you to put in the 
time to resolve the usability or others ssues that arise when working on 
JCE.
