MACOSX_PORT-105 - Create a .jre bundle, suitable for embedding in a .app

[Mike Swingler]

There is already an app that does this by embedding OpenJDK: <http://cyberduck.ch/appstore>.

MACOSX_PORT-105 would make part of the process easier, but you'd also have to strip out the X11-dependent libraries so you wouldn't be using any other optionally installed components.
