I had hoped that Mercurial would have provided some of this source bundling
for free, but since we went with a forest, it's not ideal. It's only
done on a per-repository basis.

If you go to:
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7

At the top of the page are some 'zip' 'bz2' 'gz' links. These get you
bundles, for example the default 'zip' link gets you the latest changeset or
'tip' for this repository:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/archive/tip.zip

You can get bundles for any changeset number or even a tag, like jdk7-b24:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/archive/jdk7-b24.zip

But as I said, with a forest, this isn't ideal, you'd need to download
each repository, probably something like:
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jdk/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/corba/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jaxp/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/jaxws/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/hotspot/archive/jdk7-b24.zip
    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7/langtools/archive/jdk7-b24.zip

We need a forest 'zip' option that woould create a single zip file,
but I have no idea when that would ever happen.
