[PATCH] Add a BUILD_DISTRIBUTOR variable to the build process

[Diego 'Flameeyes' Pettenò]

As OpenJDK is likely to get packaged by a few distributions, it might
be useful to add an indication of the distribution used on the -version
output for the java command.

As all the variables available in Defs.gmk don't seem to put a string
before the full version, I've prepared the attached patch. With this,
by passing BUILD_DISTRIBUTOR=Gentoo, I get the following output:

flame at enterprise ~ % java -version
openjdk version "1.7.0-internal"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build
Gentoo-1.7.0-internal-portage_14_may_2007_23_47-b00) OpenJDK 64-Bit
Server VM (build Gentoo-1.7.0-internal-portage_14_may_2007_23_47-b00,
mixed mode)

Hope this might help to make sure that the eventually patched versions
are not mistaken for a vanilla version.
