Java?!?

FOP is a Java application....grrr...

Oh, right.

Which resulted in:

Has this bug been fixed yet in TeX Live?  I had no problems building the
PDFs after reverting this commit.  I'll have to try on Fedora 20 and 21,
unless someone else can get to it first.

Again, if you have another way to create pdf files from xml input, which
works on Cygwin and Linux, please feel free to provide one.  I had no
problems creating pdfs on Linux using fop, so I had no incentive to
switch.  Just provide a patch to cygwin-patches.  If it works it's as
good as applied.

Attached. Tested and works on Cygwin and Fedora 19 through 21, but still fails on RHEL/CentOS 7.
