A branch for IcedTea7 will follow in due course.  I want to see if
it's possible to use the 2.1 HotSpot
when building Zero, before branching for this release.  So far, it
looks like this will need a few backports
(primarily SetNativeThreadName).  I have Zero built with IcedTea7
HEAD, but it currently crashes on
initialisation.
