Building Open JDK 6 On Windows 7

[Lussier, Denis]

Hi Kamesh,

OpenSCG presently builds the 32-bit OpenJDK6 Windows binaries and installer
and we use VS2003.

I haven't had time to get the 64-bit Windows build working,.  But... I have
assembled a working
(and properly licensed) virtual machine that I am interested in sharing
with you.

It is Windows XP 64 bit plus the proper SDK compiler as per the official
build requirements.
I also have experience on the 32 bit Windows build to share with you so
that we can make sure
the Win 64 build performs nicely on Fonts depending how we compile and link
in with FreeType.
