Unable to add private data to shopping cart

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When using CartPoster you cannot add merchant private data as it's not 
supported by the builder.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Using 2.5 on OS X 10.6.4

Please provide any additional information below.

I'm attaching a patch to allow adding private data. Please review.

Workaround for adding private merchant data:

 CheckoutShoppingCartBuilder builder = API_CONTEXT.cartPoster().makeCart();
 builder.addItem("baseball glove", "Large", 15.00, 1);
 // Use build instead of buildAndPost if you are adding private data...
 CheckoutShoppingCart cart = builder.build();
 // Add our private data to the shopping cart
 AnyMultiple privateData = new AnyMultiple();
 List<Object> list = privateData.getContent();
 list.add("private String data");
 cart.getShoppingCart().setMerchantPrivateData(privateData);
 // Now we can do the post...
 CheckoutRedirect checkoutRedirect = API_CONTEXT.cartPoster().postCart(cart); 

Note that the List<Object> can only have String or Element entries.
