Brian Wellington committed some patch to dnsjava repository the last
week, so maybe it is the right time to propose a change that allow
dnsjnio to extend the behaviour in its own packages.

I don't remember exactly the issue, but if no one find the time early
I'll try to look at what is needed the next weekend.

I guess if we provide a patch now dnsjava 2.0.7 could include it.
