Request to backport: JavaFileManager

[Lussier, Denis]

I am NOT in any way questioning this decision.  I am wondering aloud what
the general policy is for this kinda stuff.

Of course if the improved FileManger is in Oracle's JDK 6 then it's clearly
desirable for the OpenJDK project to get the fix/improvement backported from
DEV (OpenJDK7) to PROD (OpenJDK6).  Is this the case here or is it some
other valid case??
