[icedtea-web] RFC: use an actual number as the JDK_UPDATE_VERSION for plugin

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The IcedTea builds used to pass in a value for JDK_UPDATE_VERSION when 
building the plugin, which was left out when IcedTea-Web was created. 
This patch defines this variable and sets it to an arbitrary value.

Without this patch, about:plugins in firefox shows that the plugin 
supports the mime type "application/x-java-applet;jpi-version=1.6.0_". 
This seems to cause issues with the deployJava.js script - the users get 
redirected to the Java download page. Adding any value after the _ is 
enough to make applets using deployJava.js work with the plugin.

The following web page can be used as a reproducer:
http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/applet/examples/dist/applet_Draggable/AppletPage.html

ChangeLog:
2010-11-08  Omair Majid  <omajid at redhat.com>

     * Makefile.am (JDKJDK_UPDATE_VERSION): Define variable.

Any thoughts or comments?

Thanks,
Omair
