Patch: FYI: Update web pages for RMI


I'm checking this in.
This further updates the Java web pages to account for the RMI import,
and it addresses a grammatical confusion pointed out by Gerald.

-            <dd>I was working on this, but it's on the back-burner right now. 
-              So, if anyone would like to help out I would appreciate it. I have 
-              a free implementation of RMI (&quot;NinjaRMI&quot;) that is quite 
-              similar to Sun's RMI. You can download it from <a href="http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/%7Emdw/proj/ninja";>http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~mdw/proj/ninja</a></dd>

-          <p>Note that this is NOT Java RMI per se; it is just very similar in 
-            functionality and design. You might want to steal some classes out 
-            of it to get RMI support in libgcj. However, it does require some 
-            classes in java.* and sun.* which are not part of libgcj.</p>

-        <p>It may be possible to use the JavaParty's <a href="http://wwwipd.ira.uka.de/%7Ehauma/EfficientRMI/";>RMI 
-          implementation</a>, but the licensing is much more restrictive than 
-          that of NinjaRMI. Details below:</p>
-        <blockquote> 
-          <p>The much faster drop-in RMI and the appropriate efficient serialization 
-            is designed and implemented completely in Java without any native 
-            code. Moreover, the re-designed RMI supports non-TCP/IP communication 
-            networks, even with heterogeneous transport protocols. As a by-product, 
-            there is a benchmark collection for RMI. </p>
