Thanks for your contribution.  The idea here seems good in general.
IMO things like VisualVM, SystemTap support, etc. should be depended
on by the 'all' target rather than having this convoluted IcedTea
target (which is then duplicated in icedtea-ecj).

I'm planning to refactor our whole Makefile structure as a whole, so
I'll factor this in rather than applying the patch as is.  I'll be
doing this on my personal branch:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/people/andrew/icedtea then porting the
results, once stable over to IcedTea6 and 7.

Thanks,
