I made the change to allow for our traditional (default) export/import
mechanism, but other additional styles could be added/used. Since we no
longer sign, distros are free to edit, add and/or remove files. But
before doing any JCE operation, the environment needs to grant
something, otherwise there are no perms and no JCE available.

I've moved to the right position in the file. I meant did we find a
default perms file, vs an exempt.

I'm concerned that the exception might print out the entire path instead
of just the filename, which would include java.home and probably should
not be made available.

Changed to: crypto.policydir-tbd?

Changed.

Fixed.

I could, but I'm concerned that a build with --enabled-unlimited-crypto
would expect that the compiled-in version default would also be
unlimited and would be surprised with limited.
Upon Max's suggestion above, I've changed the name of the marker to
"crypto.policy=crypto.policydir-tbd." Does that work for you?

We could, but see above.

Again, I'm concerned about outputting java.home, so I'm just going to
output the final directory name.

Done.
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited limited fail
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited unlimited pass
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited NosuchDir exception
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited . exception
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited /tmp/unlimited exception
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited ../policy/unlimited exception
* @run main/othervm TestUnlimited ./unlimited exception

Yes, good catch.
