 [1:1.6.0.40-1.13.12.1]
 - Separate bootstrap option as it should not be tied to the JDK used.

 - Temporarily enable bootstrapping on all architectures to work around RH1334465/PR2956.
 - Resolves: rhbz#1350043

 - Update to IcedTea 1.13.12 & OpenJDK 6 b40.
 - Depend on mailcap for /etc/mime.types (PR2800)
 - Use configure macro and disable long-running JTreg & SystemTap tests from make check
 - Remove redundant patch-ecj target invocation for bootstrap build.
 - Add check section to run the new tests introduced in 1.13.12.
 - Add RHEL version of b40 tarball.
 - Require mailcap at build time as well, so configure finds /etc/mime.types
 - No need to require openssl at run time.
 - Drop old_gcc patch as this is now supported upstream (S8161262)
 - Resolves: rhbz#1350043
