I'm for removing support for PureTLS, since it is largely unmaintained at 
the moment.  But the abstraction is usefull to be able to support SSL 
providers (e.g. Mozilla meantioned above) that don't implement JSSE.  It 
wasn't about getting removing it from the NIO Connecter, just making the 
signature not depend on JSSE.  So for JSSE, something like:
   public SSLSupport getNioSSLSupport(Socket sock) {
         return factory.getSSLSupport(((SSLSocket)sock).getSession());
  }

I just prefer to keep where we have  plug-in structure such as here, that we 
don't just throw it away in favor of only supporting Sun's solution.
