Since there seem to be no objects with respect to the gnu.classpath
namespace, I'll commit gnu.classpath.ServiceFactory this Wednesday.

The Mauve tests, which I'll also commit on Wednesday, will run checks on
the public API javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry.lookupProviders, not on
something specific to Classpath. Thus, I'll also commit a mostly stubbed
javax.imageio.spi.ServiceRegistry, whose only implemented method will be
lookupProviders.

Please tell me by Tuesday in case you don't agree.
