[patch] Support New NIO in IcedTea

[C. K. Jester-Young]

Attached are some patches that help the current nio2 tip build with the
current IcedTea tip. :-) The rest of the message is my reply to Andrew,
which other readers probably won't care about. :-P

Yeah, it's a bit a shame that you can't choose to use a monospace font
with Gmail...I personally use Mutt to do all my mailing list stuff, just
because no webmail system I've seen does proper (strict) threading, list
header fields (Mail-Followup-To, etc.), inline attachments, customisable
attachment content types, or the like. I sang with joy the day I heard
that Gmail supported IMAP access.

True, true...well, I finally got them completed (at 3 am, no less: I'll
be away for a whole week in 5 hours' time, and I wanted these changes
to go through before the nio2 tip gets updated again and all my work has
to be redone :-P).

The @Override-stripping patch is quite large, and the nio2 updates have
caused the gensrc changes to triple in size, so I've zipped those up.
(Again, these both apply to the nio2 tip as of current writing, so you
may need to repull your sources.) The main build script changes remain
inline so they can be easily reviewed.

So, hope you and Mark and maybe other interested parties have fun with
them! Hopefully there won't be too many changes to the nio2 tip before I
return.... :-)

Enjoy,
