This brings in changes still listed in 1.10's NEWS file (which obviously
aren't present any more because we removed the plugin and NetX :-)
It also adds a bit of structure so release notes will look good when
they appear.

	* NEWS: Bring in changes from IcedTea6 1.10
	NEWS (now redundant there) and apply same structure
	as in IcedTea6.
