No, I have not found time to do it yet and I am not sure, how I will do it.

The solution, that I favour, is to create a chooser security type, which does basically
the same as processSecurityTypesMsg(), but uses a bigger name space (eg. 4 byte) and supports Client
side preferences. My other security types will get number beyond 256 and will be registered only
in the chooser.
