Bob, can you review the small attached patch?  I can ask others if you
are slammed, but it's small and affects code you are familiar with, so
I thought I'd ask you first.

This patch implements support for a @GwtTransient annotation.
@GwtTransient means the same thing as the transient keyword, but it is
ignored by all serialization systems other than GWT's. Usually the
<code>transient</code> keyword should be used in preference to this
annotation. However, for types used with multiple serialization
systems, it can be useful.  The motivation is discussed further in
these bug reports:

http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=2964


The patch simply adds the annotation and checks it in the places
isTransient is currently checked.  So, from GWT's point of view,
isTransient and @GwtTransient are equivalent.
