Description
Need to make Java Web Start part of the J2RE image on Unix.  It is already part
of the image on Windows.  The two big benefits are that
1. JavaWS will be able to assume the presence of a J2RE on Unix.
2. Users will no longer have to manually install the JavaWS that came bundled
   with the Unix J2RE.
Work Around
N/A
Evaluation
Fixing for Mantis.

We now install javaws in javaws subdirectory of the JRE in the following bundles:
 - Unix JRE and JDK (non-debug) shell script bundles
 - Solaris SUNWj3rt package
 - Linux JRE and JDK RPM bundles

All bundles add the appropriate setting to ${HOME}/.mime.types and 
${HOME}/.mailcap files so that javaws is recognized by netscape.  Solaris
packages and Linux RPMs also remove the settings when uninstalled.
