IMO its now the best time to get rid of this package totally. Its not
needed anymore. GNU JAXP was merged into GNU classpath some time ago.
The only package depending on it is libjfreereport-java. I think we can
just remove the dependency there. sablevm and free-java-sdk recommend it
but this is not needed anymore too.

+1 for removing this package.

Any more opinions?
