No need to apologise.  I was just worried I was doing something wrong,
as I've not changed them before.  I'm actually surprised to even get
a reply to this before sometime in 2014... ;)

I've just been trying to push back against some of those nasty red blocks
before the IcedTea 6 release.  Most seem to pass now.  If you have upgraded
the box, then you probably want to drop the --disable-system-lcms option now
anyway and just make sure the headers are installed (wheezy must have it, surely?)

On that note, I noticed that the same option for 7 is added in the build script, which
seems wrong.  It would be better applied just to those machines that lack the
system library.

Incidentally, I noticed there were lots of 6 builds (so many that they got queued up on
each push, too many to run all at once), but only one build fired for 7.  Maybe it's
about time to consider inverting this?  Stuff goes to 7 first these days, then gets
backported to 6 if needed.
