Well, for Sandesha, I haven't looked at the code there at all so I don't know 
how reasonable it is to reuse chunks of it.   For WS-SecPol, I did use the 
Rampart code as a base, but it pretty much ended up as a complete re-write by 
the time I was done with it.   Sandesha might be in the same ball park.

For Metro, we cannot use the code at all as it's CDDL.   We could potentially 
use the actual binary "metro jar" if it would work, but we cannot make any 
code changes or reuse the code or anything like that.
