[kaffe] CVS kaffe (robilad): Resynced with GNU Classpath: Merged in new DirectByteBufferImpl code and better

Good ! :)

No we have not discussed about it. But I have just imported the two 
necessary files and they look like to work well atm. I'll run a make 
check and mauve on it and if everything goes well I'll commit them.
