IcedTea6 -- Next Generation

Hi all,

I've just created a clone of HEAD at

http://icedtea.classpath.org/people/andrew/icedtea6-hg

which I intend to use to provide a version of IcedTea6 which tracks
the current Mercurial version of OpenJDK6 rather than the tarball.
This will enable us to test new build drops before they occur - the
motivation for doing it now is to test the upcoming b18.

In this branch, ./configure && make will be _intentionally_ broken --
you'll need to use --enable-hg or --with-openjdk-src-dir=<path to
OpenJDK6 hg checkout> to build.

Happy hacking,
-- 
Andrew :-)
