[8u-dev] RFA for JDK-8079788: Fix broken CL version detection in configure for some Visual Studio configurations

[Alexey Ivanov]

Hi,

Could you please approve the following backport to 8u-dev?

JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8079788
jdk9 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/rev/d57780478145
Code review: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2016-August/017566.html

The patch applies cleanly to jdk8u-dev; generated-configure.sh is 
regenerated.
Webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~aivanov/8079788/jdk8/webrev.0/

I recently faced this issue, and configure for 8u cannot complete. It 
could be related to backporting of JDK-8042707.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Alexey
