Vsevolod Stakhov be6a98c4e8 Version 1.54 of the Bouncy Castle Crypto APIs.
The FreeBSD Ports Collection already has 1.45 version of the Bouncy Castle and
this new port is based on java/bouncycastle.

Newer versions are not API-compatible with that older one. Some say they should
be given 2.x version numbers. So, this new version comes as distinct port
java/bouncycastle15 instead of update for existing java/bouncycastle15 to keep
old API version available.

This is neccessary dependency for other port updates, e.g. newer version of
iText PDF (devel/itext) requires new API of modern Bouncy Castle versions.
