I just checked, it does do the DES variant, and there is a
handy dandy test program.

Not sure why that would be, unless you're referring to the
overhead of Sun's JCE architecture.  If you do rewrite, you
can test against the Cryptix program, or write this little
C test from the javadoc:

     * <pre>
     *    #include <unistd.h>
     *    main()
     *    {
     *        const char *key = "CryptixRulez";
     *        const char salt[] = {'o','k'};
     *        printf("crypt(%s, %s) = %s\n",
     *               key, salt, crypt(key, salt));
     *    }
     * </pre>
