So by having no crypto.policy defined we have no JCA?  Does that mean no 
operations at all (No MessageDigest, etc) or no restrictable crypto ops?

Since we know a limited number of countries have import issues, can we 
make no crypto.policy property defined as unlimited policy?  Defining 
the property would be for only limiting the access.  We could get rid of 
the unlimited policy file and just ship a limited policy file.
