[PATCH] MSI installer for IcedTea-Web

[Michal Vala]

Hi,

this patch 
https://michalvala.fedorapeople.org/icedtea-windows-build/win_jars.patch adds 
default paths for all jars needed for build in configure. Jars has to be placed 
in same places as for linux build from cygwin point of view.
Patch can be simplified by processing jar path with cygpath in IT_FIND_OPTIONAL_JAR.
