Reviewer needed - patch which added explicit class serial version UID to some JAXP classes

[Pavel Tisnovsky]

Hi all,

I'd like to add new patch to IcedTea6 HEAD and IcedTea6-1.10 which fixes
TCK failures which occured due to changes made in some JAXP classes
(more precisely: there were new method getCause() added to some
classes). These failures can be simply fixed by explicitly setting
serial version UID to these classes which can be done by patch applied
during JAXP build. Explicit serial version UIDs now matches UIDs used
by JDK 6 as can be checked by running serial_version_check.sh [attachment].

Here are results obtained by running serial_version_check.sh against JDK
1.6.0_24:

javax.xml.stream.FactoryConfigurationError:    static final long
serialVersionUID = -2994412584589975744L;
javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactoryConfigurationError:    static
final long serialVersionUID = -6527718720676281516L;
javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError:    static final long
serialVersionUID = -827108682472263355L;
