There is another javac fix to go back in b17 and a recently added test 
needs to be moved.

I'd also like to see a port of your DeoptimizeALot fix since I think it 
affects one of the tests currently in the OpenJDK 6 HotSpot repo.

The preliminary tests I've run on b17 look good.

Looking ahead, for build 18, there are some larger javac fixes I'd like 
to see backported as well as the Nimbus work.

What other features should b18 have?
