Testing OpenJDK under Windows 7 64, problem with Makefile

[Kelly O'Hair]

GNU make 3.81   NOT 3.80,  but 3.82 should work too.

And I have no idea who wrote up the instructions at:
     http://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/BuildWindows
     http://java.net/projects/adoptopenjdk/pages/InstallJtreg.

The instructions we support are at:
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
and if there are mistakes in that page, issues can be filed, and anyone is welcome to fix it.
