Building IcedTea6 specifiing --with-hotspot-src-zip

[Michael Franz]

Andrew,

I am/was trying to use a zipped hotspot from the bsd-port repo.  As far as I
know, there are no archives for the bsd-port.

To make my life easier, I just patched hotspot-f9d938ede196 with all the bsd
changes.  I'll see how far that gets me.
