The changes to the jdk files look fine.
One question though, does the name "CORE_BUILD" have a meaning to the
JDK, or just the VM? Just wondering if a "VM_CORE_BUILD" or
"HOTSPOT_CORE_BUILD" might be a better name. Not a big deal.

(At some point we should probably be documenting the make variables
that form the build interface, or the ones we need to preserve in
terms of spelling and meaning. A daunting task I know. :^{ )

If you have changesets I can send them through the jdk7/build forest,
with the appropriate jdk test builds (the changes look independent,
so should be fine) or you can send them through the hotspot-comp forest.
Although you should make sure the hotspot integrators
are aware that you have made changes to non-hotspot repositories, just
to make sure they don't forget to do a full forest push.
