[cp-patches] New java.util.Currency implementation

Attached is a new java.util.Currency implementation which uses 
iso4271.properties, as suggested by Michael Koch.
The main problem in creating this was getting this resource into the installed 
Classpath, which I achieved in the
end by adding it to the Makefile.am in resources/java/util.  If this is not the 
correct solution, please let me
know.  It would also be nice to know if there is some documentation on this.  
At least, I learnt a lot about
classloaders and resources by trying different things ;)

As far as this goes, we've gained some and lost some on the tests.  We now have 
Euro support, but we've lost what
little symbol support we had (although I think this is in line with Sun's 
implementation, but not the specification).
The test file I have gives all decimal points as 2, but the tests suggest this 
is not always the case.  This is most
likely a bug in an early revision of the file.  We also still have a problem 
with getAllLocales() which has already
been reported (the UK currency code lookup test fails because of this).

Anyway, let me know your comments and the commit status,
Cheers,
