building openjdk for windows ,freetype

[Rishi Khare]

thanks a lot for your help,
 actually the freetype needs to be built, the one supplied with cygwin
directly doesnt work.
 I had to just open the Visual Studio project file from
freetype-2.3.5\builds\win32\visualc and open it is Visual Studio.net 2003
(need to change its version from 8.00 to 7.10 otherwise it wont open)
and compile the project, it will produce the required .lib files , which can
be given to ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH
i did the same and it is working fine now.(the build is running now and
passed the point where it used to get stuck while freetype check)

I could not use the bat file at
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2007-August/000187.html
because i couldnt find the gnumake command for cygwin (probably it needs
MKS) and i dont have MKS .

Thanks a lot once again.
-Regards
Rishi
