javax.pack API does not provide a way to tune up the pack/unpack properties.
It's not clear what are these properties, how they can be affected. Obviously,
they are not system properties which is illustrated in the following example:

------------- Test13.java ---------------

import java.util.Properties;
import javax.pack.Pack200;

public class Test13 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        System.setProperty(Pack200.PACK_COMPRESSION_LEVEL, "7");

        Pack200 p = new Pack200();
        Properties props = p.getPackProperties();

        System.out.println(props.getProperty(Pack200.PACK_COMPRESSION_LEVEL));

    }
}

-----------------------------------------

Executing the example from the command line yields:
-------- output ------------
# java Test13
0
----------------------------

Javadoc spec mentions the set of possible values of the properties and the
defaults, but it makes no sense if the properties cannot be changed.
