Hi,

I discovered that the "jdk" of icedtea includes "demos", "samples" and
even a "src.zip" file. These are as big as 50 MB, where the src.zip
contributes by 43 MB. Thee 50MB are ca. 12% of the whole jdk.

IMHO, all of these should not be there since they are rarely needed.
Also it is common security best-practice to *not* include any demo code
on production systems - which should at least followed by such large
packages. The reasoning is that demos and examples are often prone to
errors and offering attack points.

Shall I move these to "doc" or to a new output (e.g. "examples").

We should use the same scheme later for all packages where the examples
will get a package by their own.
