Now that OpenJDK 6 b18 is wrapped up, on to b19!

A detailed list of the bugs fixed is available from
http://blogs.sun.com/darcy/resource/OpenJDK_6/openjdk6-b18-changes-summary.html

What features should go into b19?

Andrew has already started work on updating HotSpot.

Previously Jon mentioned porting some javac fixes from JDK 7.

I think the patch to fix 6761856: OpenJDK: vertical text metrics may be 
significanly different from those returned by Sun JDK, already included 
in IcedTea 6, should be evaluated for application to the OpenJDK 6 master.

Other than routine ongoing maintenance, any other changes people want to 
get in?
