tracking JDK7

[John Yeary]

Tony,

That has been my limit too. I am limited on time, and I update the documents
on the builds as I have time, but two nights ago I tried to a build for PPC
with the latest code and "BOOM". So I gave up for the evening and have not
been back.

I think the first thing we need is a consistent build script that will build
without any general hassle. Setting up a build.sh to run without issues is
key. I have found on PPC that it is really unreliable. On Intel x86/x64 it
is OK.

neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight
that knows not victory nor defeat."
