No issue with adding more charset's to java.base in the AIX build but if 
I read the webrev correctly then it adds IBM29626C, IBM33722, and IBM964 
to non-AIX platforms. There is some interest in jettisoning all the IBM 
charsets (you've probably seen the length threads on that) so I'm a bit 
concerned that adding more will just make it a bit harder to remove them 
in the future. Maybe it is time to accelerate the make file changes that 
we were discussing with Nassar so that these new charsets aren't 
compiled and included on other platforms.
