IcedTea/OpenJDK java.awt.Color support

The wheels of integration http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7/builds/
turn slowly, but it seems there is actually 2d merge round is today. You
can find the actual patch at:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/2d/jdk/rev/91087975bff7

But I would just keep the current classpath patches since they do seem
to work fine and wait till the 2d to jdk7 master merge happens.

(Note that currently icedtea/7 tracks one particular revision [b24] of
openjdk/7), see the Makefile.am.

Cheers,

Mark
