[TriLUG] Gentoo updates and dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0-r1

On my machine (which updated to 1.6 without incident) I have the
following in /etc/portage/package.keywords

dev-java/sun-jdk
dev-java/java-config
dev-java/java-config-wrapper

I had it there originally to ensure I ran with the 1.5 JDK - however
it has also picked up the 1.6 now, and it all seems to be working
correctly.
