RFR(M): 8057538: Sponsor for back port of --with-freetype-src searched

[Patrick Reinhart]

Hi David,

I’ve got a mail that the attachment was too big and was held by the moderator approval. I personally would love to put that on cr.openjdk.java.net <http://cr.openjdk.java.net/> but to put it there it seems that I fist has to be contributor and in order to be that I had be submit some patches first :-( 

It seems I’m stuck in a recursive loop somehow ;-)


Cheers Patrick

PS: I did already contributed two fixes for the 2d printing part in the past.

In order to lower the effort of building also the OpenJDK 8 on Windows, myself and some colleges have back ported the build scripts from OpenJDK 9. We also could provide a webrev containing all changes we made.
