Description
In the 5.0 JRE README file, under "Optional Files and Directories"
replace the paragraph that begins "When redistributing the JRE on Microsoft
Windows" and list below it with the following.

When redistributing the JRE on Microsoft Windows as a private
application runtime (not accessible by other applications)
with a custom launcher, the following files are also
optional.   These are libraries and executables that are used 
for Java support in Internet Explorer and Mozilla family browsers; 
these files are not needed in a private JRE redistribution.
