Running Tests: do I need to build GTest separately?

[Anil]

I do not have a project role (signed the contributor agreement just now)
but I would like to submit a minor documentation bug because it should
clearly state that gtest should be at the bash configure stage.

example:
$ bash configure
--with-jtreg=/cygdrive/c/users/anil/OpenJDK/jtreg-7.4+1/jtreg
--with-gtest=/cygdrive/c/users/anil/OpenJDK/googletest
