tracking JDK7

[Tony Piselli]

I've got a Dual processor G4 with lots of hard drive space that could be used for PPC work for 10.5. It's been over a decade since I've done serious c/c++ programming let alone dealt with Make files. A while ago I tried to do a build but got frustrated and ran out of time to get back into it.
I may be able to help a couple of hours a week at most.
