Here's what I came up with.  This is incomplete, though.
I'm sure I've missed things, probably including new packages and
interesting updates to existing packages.

Some specific questions:

* Any new ports I'm missing?
* Can someone send details on the improvements to the Windows port?
* Michael, can you send details on java.nio and the updates to the
  protocol handlers (if interesting/significant)?
* Any big gcj changes?  Maybe compiling property files in .jars?
  Maybe the -findirect-dispatch update?
