[cp-patches] FYI: NEWS items

[Casey Marshall]

I've just checked in a start to the 0.12 NEWS item, which includes the
following notable items thusfar:

* GNU Classpath's JAR implementation now has preliminary support for
  signed entries, for so called "signed JAR" file support. Signed JAR
  files are one of the key security features of the Java platform, and
  allow code to run privileged given unforgeable proofs of identity.
* A much improved version of X.509 certificates has been added,
  including a robust certificate path checking algorithm. Also
  included is an implementation of the RSA signature scheme.
