The 1.4 API doc for java.net.SocketOptions indicates that SO_BROADCAST
is set by default for DatagramSockets.

This also seems to be what libgcj does.
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/gcc/gcc/libjava/java/net/natPlainDatagramSocketImplPosix.cc?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

So please add it and please also update out documentation of
DatagramSocket.get/setBroadcast() to say that it is on by default.

Thanks,

Mark
