[cp-patches] Proposed patch: java.io.File

[Jeroen Frijters]

Hi,

I'd like to merge in better Windows path support from libgcj (plus some
extra fixes). This is a rather large (and complicated) patch. It removes
the dependency on gnu.java.io.PlatformHelper (I would like to remove
this class completely in the near future). Another consequence of this
patch is basically that we from now on only support Unix and Windows
style paths. If anyone has problems with that, I will move the platform
specific stuff to VMFile.

I also had to introduce a new toCanonicalForm() method in VMFile,
because this needs native support on Windows.

Please review.

Regards,
Jeroen
