I am reasonably sure about that. I believe it should be feasible to wrap
all JNI calls into a custom CredentialsProvider implementation and just
provide an extended Credentials interface that can optionally produce a
hash value instead of a username/password pair. As long as those two
interfaces do not change no one should _ever_ worry about some platform
specific CredentialsProvider impl residing in the contrib package.

Honestly, I really think this whole native code thing is not as bad as
it may seem.
