Makefile patch needed when building the b20 OpenJDK source drop

[Ted Neward]

If they can't rest in the same repository, then perhaps a different
repository?

I'm just looking to be able to do a "svn up" (or its Mercurial equivalent)
and know that I've got everything I need to build the OpenJDK; it's a lot
more tedious to "svn up" then fetch the latest binary plugs (particularly
since I'm betting they're not going to change as frequently as the source
does), and only then do a build.
