I've pushed two of the approved fixes:

JAXWS/JAXP ALT_DROPS_DIR sync:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jaxws/rev/53012f905520
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/jaxp/rev/e69b78c54335

fastdebug directory fix:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/rev/3307d11b8026

but having an issue with jcheck and the X11 fix:
