Request for creation of OSX integration repo forest

[Paul Hohensee]

The idea is that it's an interim state where at least the core libs 
group can do
work before the client work is integrated.  jdk7u-osx is mean to be the 
forest
that hosts the "real" work because the macosx-port forest can't be stretched
to fit.  If there's somehow a way to turn the macosx-port forest into 
something
that can be pushed to jdk7u, it would make sense to have it be the forest
that hosts the "real" work, but I don't see any easy way to do so.
