Thats great, I appreciate the work you're doing with the Java port right
now :).

I think that the best course of action is to release the patchset as it
currently is (I haven't heard of any showstoppers).  I'll commit the port
update immediately after that.  Then lets wait for things to settle for
a week and, assuming there haven't been any big problems, we can commit
these patches to the port plus the necessary Makefile/distinfo patches.
At the same time, Update 12 can be imported into the porting repo and
OpenBSD and NetBSD people can give it a try too.  Then in a month or two
there will be a patchset 6 with official Update 12 support.

I don't want to stop the release cycle now and go through all the import,
build/test on multiple OSes/architectures steps again.  That will not only
hold up a new 1.5 patchset it will also delay 1.6.0_01 patchset that is
ready to go (not to mention any OpenJDK work).
