Again, I know very little about Java, but it seems that if we did the
necessary work up front that we could have a small set of system
specific java scripts maintained in a central repository that would
perform a user specific CA client library install that does not require
system administrator privileges.

I suppose, that with enough effort, an automatic upgrade would also be
possible, but perhaps this is a non issue because many users might
prefer, and in some cases demand, that they choose when and when not to
receive a new version.
