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

[Magnus Ihse Bursie]

Hi Patrick,

I'm sorry for all the trouble you have encountered when trying to help improving OpenJDK. :(

Try sending the patch only (not the webrev), as normal inlined text (not an attachment) in a mail to the list. I can create a webrev and put it on cr.openjdk.java.net for you.

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.
