Ok, so I tackled Batik and have an SRPM that builds now.  This basically
boiled down to removing JPEG and TIFF image handling, but - in theory -
PNG support should work.  The changes weren't nearly as bad as I first
thought.  Other than removing classes from the build, I only had to add
two patches.

But now we're stuck on GNU Classpath/libgcj not implementing some core
AWT functionality in java.awt.BasicStroke.

There was already a bug filed for this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22938

gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GdkTextLayout.getCharacterLevel(int) is also a
problem.

Hopefully somebody (fitzsim?) can comment on the status of these
classes.

This goal of rendering Fedora docs on a free stack is beginning to look
like an FC6 goal.
