[icedtea-web] RFC: add unit tests for the jnlp parser

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

The attached patch adds unit tests for the JNLP parser to icedtea-web. A 
simple 'make check' should run these tests.

The unit tests rely on the testng framework. The patch adds optional 
dependencies on testng, qdox and bsh for running these unit tests. I 
have also added a dependency on xlst for transforming the test output 
into a more jtreg-like format (useful for the buildbots)

I also looked into using junit for these tests, but junit's command line 
output is rather limited. To generate xml output, ant is required as well.

Any thoughts or comments?

ChangeLog:
