IcedTea updated to b21

Hi,

We have updated IcedTea to b21. Also, we have made the decision to remove the 
ECJ support. The --with-icedtea option has been made default.

Now, IcedTea bootstraps against a system installed IcedTea or a previously built 
version of IcedTea. For Fedora users, IcedTea can be installed through yum and 
IcedTea-b21 can be built as normal:

./configure (ICEDTEA_HOME defaults to /usr/lib/jvm/java-icedtea)
make

For all other distributions, it is mandatory that you have another version of 
IcedTea built (b19 or less). The tarballs for all the releases are available 
here: http://icedtea.classpath.org/download/source.

To build:
./configure 
--with-icedtea-home=/path/to/icedtea/openjdk/control/build/linux-{arch}/j2sdk-image/
make


Also, Ant is a new build requirement.


Please let us know if anything is broken.


Cheers,
Lillian
