I've looked at it for TC 5.5 + JRE 1.5, but it hasn't itched enough to 
actually get around to implementing it ;-).  I'd be happy to review any 
patch you come up with however.

Prior to CertPathTrustManagerParameters in JRE 1.5, it's more work to pass 
the information to the TrustManager.

Well, o.a.t.u.net.jsse.JSSE14SocketFactory would be the place to start, as 
the TrustManager is setup there.  I suppose that for JRE 1.4 Tomcat could 
also wrap the TrustManager like it does the KeyManager.
