Looking much better!

Please remove the reference to "rmic" in Global.gmk as well.

In Docs.gmk, the comment "# On top of the sources that was used to 
compile the JDK, we need some extra sources" is no longer relevant. Just 
remove it.

In ZipSource.gmk, there crept in an extra space between the argument and 
the comma. Please remove it.

In spec.gmk.in:
- # Interim langtools and rmic modules and arguments
+ # Interim langtools and arguments

Should be "Interim langtools modules and arguments"

Apart from this, it looks good. You do not need to re-spin the webrev if 
you fix these minor nits.
