FYI: Remerge java.math.BigDecimal with Classpath

[Mark Wielaard]

Hi,

The following two changes were added to Classpath a while ago. They fix
a number of Mauve BigDecimal parse/decode failures:

* BigDecimal.toString() incorrectly would return
strings that start with "." or "-." in some cases.
* BigDecimal(String) could not cope with a "+"
following the "E" or "e". E
* BigDecimal(String)'s error handling for 
malformed exponent parts was sloppy.
* BigDecimal.valueOf(Long.MIN_VALUE) returned the same
value as BigDecimal.valueOf(0L).

With this applied there remain only 5 DiagBigDecimal failures (of 600).

        * java/math/BigDecimal(valueOf): fix DiagBigDecimal val008, val013
        tests; see patch #1016 on Savannah.

        * java/math/BigDecimal.java (BigDecimal): enhance parsing of exponents
        (toString): do not return Strings starting with . and - erroneously.
        Improves Mauve results to 12 of 600 instead of 16 of 338 on
        DiagBigDecimal.

I am committing this to the branch and mainline.

Cheers,

Mark
