Think of it as icedtea6 next generation.  It contains the changes needed for
the next OpenJDK6 tarball when eventually released and is merged to icedtea6
when this happens.

So no, it shouldn't be a configure option as that would just bloat the main
IcedTea with a lot of conditionals that become invalid over time as the OpenJDK6
Mercurial tree changes.  It would date as soon as released.

As I said, patches have gone into OpenJDK6 which break those in icedtea6.  Someone
just needs to build it against current OpenJDK6 hg and fix the issues.  I presume
it's because someone upstreamed a patch, but also might be due to the binary plug
removal from Kelly.
