The class itself is the context. That is, if you need to say have a number
of keystore locations each one gets its own wrapper factory class.  Its
definitely ugly, but so is programmatically setting things on the
org.postgresql.Driver class.  That approach also requires you getting in
there to touch the Driver class before a connection is established, which
is unclear to me how to accomplish in an application server environment
where a pool is setup for you.
