I will send an email to FSF legal about using a (reimplementation)

Done and answered. We are free to reimplement this. File formats and
algorithms aren't copyrightable, so any code we write to conform to
the description given (see below) is OK. Now all we need is someone
willing to actually implement this and add it as a standard KeyStore
format we support.

this is great news!

until a volunteer raises his/her hand and contribute the implementation,
i'll start working on the keytool tool.


Note that there is a beginning of a keytool implementation in GNU Crypto CVS. Some of the basic functions work (list, export, and import, I think), so it may be helpful to start with that code instead of from scratch.
