	* java/net/URL.java
	(URL): Added paragraph about the
	gnu.java.net.nocache_protocol_handlers property.
	(ph_cache): Renamed from handlers to match classpath's implementation.
	Reordered it with factory and serialVersionUID member variables.
	(cache_handlers): New member variable.
	(static): New static initializer to initialize cache_handlers from
	gnu.java.net.nocache_protocol_handlers property.
	(URL): Use ph_cache instead of handlers, reformatted some code to
	match classpath's implementation.

+  * Normally, this class caches protocol handlers.  Once it finds a handler

+  * again.  However, if the system property
+  * gnu.java.net.nocache_protocol_handlers is set, then this
+  * caching behavior is disabled.  This property is specific to this
+  * implementation.  Sun's JDK may or may not do protocol caching, but it
+  * almost certainly does not examine this property.
