[7u4] Request for approval for 7124627 - Please sync up changes from workspace macosx-port into the jdk7u-osx

[Kumar Srinivasan]

Launcher changes:

I am not very happy about using #ifdef's in java.c
we had taken steps to ensure that all platform dependent 
code, be removed from src/share/bin/java.c
but it is unfortunate to see conditionals have crept in.

My recommendation is to have SplashScreen as it is,
but for Macos have an empty implementation, add a new
function SpashScreenMacOS or something in java_md.c which
will do all the necessary Mac specific items, and try to
move much as possible the MacOS dependent code into java_md.c

The current state of java_md.c is unmaintainable, I am
planning on  refactoring this code, as a separate effort,
I will send a webrev once I am done.
