Seen. I learn many things from your scripts from OpenJDK 7 (bsd-port)
in the past :)

> They work on my Mac OS X 10.6.8 system.

Same here

> MLVM is based on jdk8 but also uses a anther specific MLVM patch forest.

Notice them line 114 of update.sh

> I've been meaning to convert them to build dmgs but haven't gotten to it yet.
> I know you have been building dmgs. Do you have any  suggestions for me or a pointer to the right section in your script Ican adapt.

Just take a look here :
http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build/source/browse/trunk/packageosxu.sh

This script handle all the packaging part.

Note, it download DMG template from
http://openjdk-osx-build.googlecode.com/svn/template.

> Also if anything is helpful in my scripts please use/adapt them of course.

Stephen, I think there should be very soon OpenJDK 8 for OS/X DMG on
http://code.google.com/p/openjdk-osx-build :)
