JDK/JRE README exclude lists should exclude proper Java Web Start files

      Here is the text for the exclusion of Java Web Start from
      JDK and JRE README files:

      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/README.html

      bin/javaws and jre/bin/javaws
          Java Web Start

      http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/README

      bin/javaws
          Java Web Start

      This text states that Java Web Start can be excluded from redistributions
      but gives the wrong instructions on how to exclude it. Following
      those instructions (deleting bin/javaws and jre/bin/javaws
      will break other things).

      We have to either:
      1.) remove this exclusion from the readme.
      2.) change to list the proper files to remove Java Web Start:
      on all platforms:
      JRE/bin/javaws
      JRE/lib/javaws.jar
      JRE/lib/javaws/*
      JRE/lib/javaws
      where JRE is the root of the JRE installation
