FYI: cacao branch

[Christian Thalinger]

Hi!

Today I finally started the cacao branch in the IcedTea repository.  We
had some smaller problems (Lillian accidentally merged the branches
right after I created them).  Tom stripped of this merge changeset from
the upstream repository, so everything is fine.  But probably one was
pulling in this small time frame.

The stripped revision was a4f10f91a707.

If you think you have a broken clone, please clone again!

OK, now some words to be branch itself.  In order to switch to the
branch just do:

$ hg update -C cacao

But be aware that -C does a cleanup!  Also see:

$ hg help update

I added all patches required and a new configure option --with-cacao.
Currently you need a CACAO built for OpenJDK (--with-classpath=sun)
installed somewhere and point IcedTea to that location, e.g.:

./configure --with-cacao=/foo/bar/cacao-sun

The default location for --with-cacao is /usr/local/cacao.

Please tell me if it works for you or not (I/we know of a bug in CACAO
that probably hangs the build, I try to fix that).
