Yeah, this is today's job :)  I'm making thise changes so I can make
SocketPermission work, and SocketPermission comes from Classpath so
I can't do a thing without somehow getting my changes there.  And
merging seemed the best way.

Unfortunately we will have no meaningful security checks in java.net
without it.  The Windows-specific code is there, and I'm happy to
rearrange it in whatever way I rearrange the Posix code, it just needs
someone to check it builds.  But I'll wait until I have some actual
code before I worry too much about it...
