Building OpenJDK 7 on Windows XP

[Ted Neward]

Did I make a disparaging remark about Ubuntu? Didn't mean to--I agree, building on Ubuntu is far easier than building on Windows.

I haven't looked at 6 yet; I'm more interested in following along with latest developments, and possibly contributing back to the upcoming build. If I get time, though, I'll try doing a OpenJDK6 build on Windows and see how it'll work. (It shouldn't be too much different from what's there, though, since the JDK source hadn't really been modified all that much when I posted that.)
