Not sure about the status of Zero/Shark/etc & the plugin.  I'm
thinking it would be nice to backport the Nimbus patches from OpenJDK6
and get them out to people ASAP.  I don't think it's right to have b18
yet just for this, but would be nice to get it into circulation via
IcedTea sooner rather than later.
