There's already support for pluggable SSLSocketFactories to wrap
sockets. Adding pluggable SocketFactory support wouldn't seem to be
overly hard, I just suspect it's a combination of nobody having needed
it and nobody having wanted it enough to take the time to write a patch.

The JDBC driver is readable and not hard to understand, so maybe you
could chuck a patch together?

(Fighting very hard to say "Oh, I'll do something like that" when I've
already volunteered for way too much).
