Mercurial repo for openjdk6 drops

[Martin Buchholz]

Hi Mark,

I think this is great.

I would prefer if the tag for a release was
consistent with the naming convention in OpenJDK7,
i.e. something like "jdk6-b12"

Joe, as I mentioned to you offline,
I think having some history for the mercurial repos
at creation time would be valuable.

I bet the community would do the conversion down to the
changeset if Sun provided the history in Teamware form.
