RFC: Moving native code in java.net into architecture dependant files - updated patch

Hi Michael,

It's not a MingW-specific thing. I don't think it make sense to have
it here because you are unnecessarily disabling net functionality
in a cross-built library. There isn't any reason to do this (unless my
understanding of cross builds is incorrect).

I wasn't clear from Tom's message:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q1/msg00788.html

...if he was:

- in favor of retaining the current --disable-java-net
  functionality exactly as it exists today

- only supporting net-less builds for newlib targets

My comment was based on the assumption that for the moment,
today's functionality is retained as-is.
