Each build drop results in a similar process for the normal build;
some file will change and the patch will need to be recreated against
the new version.  This is one of the reasons why, long-term, we want
as many patches upstream as possible.  It's obviously going to happen
with BSD too as files have changed compared with the main JDK7
versions, and likewise the solution to this is to start getting the
BSD changes into the main tree.  Some files will always be different
until this happens and it's going to mean maintaining separate
patches.  So things will get easier as we both get patches upstream.

This is just an out-of-date BSD tree compared with JDK7.  Kelly's
patch changed the name of the template.  I didn't hit this when trying
bsd-port yesterday so it seems to be up-to-date now.  So you should be
able to use the standard version if you update your copy of the
bsd-port tree.

I saw this one too.  I think the entire patch may just be able to be
dropped now.

This is a weird one, I think the ability to set the name of the
freetype library would need to go upstream, though I've never heard of
a system calling it anything else.
We could just pass in the header location properly and not patch that part.
I don't think this is hugely essential, I know I have no problems
linking freetype with a normal OpenJDK build.

Handles binaries like gcc-4.4 used by Debian.

Allows the system libraries to be used instead of intree ones.

These are likely both due to BSD changes to the Makefiles for HotSpot.

Additional architecture support.

Seems to have been pushed upstream with little response.

No idea on this one.  It's apparently to be upstreamed --

Not sure about why we do this, need to look into it.
