jcheck and the ProblemList

Hi toolers,

Is there an appetite to support a request to update jcheck to add 
ProblemList updates to the list of exceptional changesets, like merge 
and tags?

The ProblemList is a file that lives in the jdk repository, 
test/ProblemList.txt. It contains a list of tests with known issues, and 
links the bug tracking the test issue. Currently, a test failure 
requires at least two bugs, one to track the actual test failure and 
another to put it on the ProblemList ( until the test can test issue can 
be resolved ).

What I am proposing is that a changeset, containing an update to a 
single file, test/problemList.txt, would be acceptable with relaxed 
enforcement of the comment style, i.e. bug no. and reviewer.

-Chris.
