Bootstrapping with OpenJDK 7

[Karen Kinnear]

Michael,

Let me be clearer. You have to copy the dylibs to test the
new vm you built.

You can test it by running any .class files you have, the
Queens file is not important at all, it was just a very short
.java file that made sure that the vm was warm and breathing.
java -version would be a good check that you got your own
build installed where you want it.

thanks,
Karen
