Yes, I will.  The new Java 1.6 jnlp security is rather weird, as it
needs the jnlp to be packaged inside a signed jar and to be the same as
the jnlp on the web site ... otherwise the user gets a security error.
That means it's not only editing jnlp file on the server, as before, but
recompiling the whole package with the new jnlp with MDS URL changed
only :(
