Error when building openjdk 7

[Kelly O'Hair]

This is a reply to a delayed email, but the answer may be helpful to someone, assuming this email
doesn't get delayed...

There is a bug in the corba idlj tool that causes build failures when the root of the directory path doing the
build starts with /d or /i or /D or /T ... basically any / followed by what is an option letter for idlj.
The idlj command line parsing was originally setup to accept -option or /option, trying to be Unix and
Windows friendly I suspect, but that was obviously (now) a bad idea.
This was fixed in the jdk7 idlj, but the problem lingers in the jdk6 version.

---
Slightly related to this is an outstanding bug with the corba repository build process in that the idlj
tool should be handled more like the langtools javac.jar, we should build a idlj.jar first with the
latest idlj sources in jdk7, run that as part of the jdk7 corba build (run idlj.jar with the  bootdir jdk),
and also build idlj classes with -target 7 for delivery into the jdk7 product.
This means that these corba sources need to be compilable and runnable with the boot jdk.
Had that been done, the original issue would not have been seen because we would not have been
running the boot jdk idlj, which has this build failure issue.

Yeah yeah ZZZZZZZZ  blah blah blah ;^)
