Motivation:
Previously filterCipherSuites was being passed the OpenSSL-formatted
cipher names. Commit 43ae974 introduced a regression as it swapped to the
RFC/JDK format, except that user-provided ciphers were not converted and
remained in the OpenSSL format.
This mis-match would cause all user-provided to be thrown away, leading
to failure trying to set zero ciphers:

Modifications:
Remove the reformatting of user-provided ciphers, as they are already in
the RFC/JDK format.
Result:
No regression, and the internals stay sane using the RFC/JDK format.
If you are on Linux, you need additional development packages installed on your system, because you'll build the native transport.
Note that this is build-time requirement. JDK 5 (for 3.x) or 6 (for 4.0+) is enough to run your Netty-based application.
Branches to look
Development of all versions takes place in each branch whose name is identical to <majorVersion>.<minorVersion>. For example, the development of 3.9 and 4.0 resides in the branch '3.9' and the branch '4.0' respectively.
