Qt 4.5.3 Windows Java 1.6.0u17 Applet patch by John Spicer

This bug is hereby created to track progress towards adding Java Applet support
to Qt Webkit.

Attached you will find a very basic, barely functional patch against the WebKit
version shipped with Qt 4.5.3* on Windows.

It requires Sun's Java Plugin2 capability be available on the machine running
WebKit, so it works with 1.6.0u17 (not sure if earlier versions of Java work).

Feeble attempts made by myself and John to port this to 4.6.0 have failed.  
Girish Ramakrishnan has said he'll take a peek at this early in the new year.

TODO:
- port to 4.6.0
- port to OSX, Linux and beyond!
- test, test, test
- things that don't work:
   1. applets loaded as .class such as http://javatester.org/version.html  [
applets in .jar files such as
http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp?detect=jre&try=1 do work! :D ]
   2. running on anything other then windows
   3. ???

* = Qt 4.5.3's WebKit version is [ git://gitorious.org/qtwebkit/qtwebkit.git
--- commit imported from: origin/qtwebkit-4.5 branch/tag --- sha1 checksum:
eb3afcbfb4006de4015047555cb256fcde93b954 ] that works
