Windows build failure when building JLI

[Artem Ananiev]

Hi, Erik,

it's good to know that the work is in progress. I will leave the changes 
locally in my workspace then and wait for the next synchronization 
between build-infra and jdk8 master.

BTW, what's the reason to continue the new build infrastructure 
development in a separate project (build-infra), not in the master 
workspace?

Right, I noticed it, but forgot to add to my webrev :)
