RFR(L): 8024854: Basic changes and files to build the class library on AIX

[Chris Hegarty]

Volker,

I skimmed over the networking part of the changes, and nothing jumps out 
at me. I'd like to spend a little more time doing a more detailed 
review, but I will not have time to do this until after JavaOne.
