New IcedTea6 Repository

[Joseph D. Darcy]

Hello.

If you send me Sun bug ids (here or over on jdk6-dev at openjdk.java.net), 
I can lookup if they are expected to be fixed or not in the OpenJDK 6 
code.  The OpenJDK 6 code branched from JDK 7 from around build 20 to 22 
so most fixes should be present in OpenJDK 6 too.  We're also interested 
in having external fixes migrate back.

Cheers,

-Joe
