Things are a little ugly in fc6 extras java land...

* Azureus makes my computer practically unusable because of libgcj's new
SecureRandom implementation.  I've filed a bug for a work around here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=200653
Mark tells me this is the root cause of some crypto test timeout
problems on the autobuilder as well.  Casey says that this same code
doesn't seem to have a problem on jamvm.

* RSSOwl no longer fails to start because of the zip problem (thanks
tromey!), but now crashes in _Jv_ClassReader::checkExtends (super =
0x3).  I'm rebuilding libgcj with -O0 -g3 to debug.

* I've updated jogl to jsr231 1.0 beta 5.  The good news is that it
builds sans patching!  The bad news is that demos crash the X server
(like, try resizing the gears demo).  I think this is an X problem, so
I'm going to push this out anyways because the latest WW2D (and "WW2D
plus one", which looks awesome --
http://www.alpix.com/3d/worldwin/WW2d_Java.html) use this version of the
jogl API.

* kawa is fine.
