Build Infrastructure changes

[Kelly O'Hair]

FYI...

If you are interested in the jdk8 build infrastructure changes coming down the pipe, I invite you
to join the build-infra-dev alias:

http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-infra-dev/2011-August/000029.html

I expect this work to get started and moving soon with Fredrik as the primary contributor,
the only catch is that I will be on vacation Aug 9-21 and the openjdk mail system seems to be
refusing to send email to Fredrik. Hopefully I'll resolve Fredrik's email issue very soon.

The autoconf setup may borrow ideas/patterns from the IcedTea project, and I want to give
credit to that team for that work.

Please send questions to the build-infra-dev alias.
