Sorry I wasn't clear. Which of the files in jdk/makefiles actually get 
used? For example Release.gmk defines the "images" but it has been 
replaced by Images.gmk. So even though files exist in jdk/makefiles they 
may not actually be used in the new build.

I'm trying to update my own makefile based on the changes in the main 
jdk ones, but trying to determine what variables are still valid is 
proving somewhat problematic. For example I am using ABS_TEMPDIR and 
JARFILELIST_TEMPDIR, which are set in the old build but not the new one. 
So I'm trying to narrow down which files are used in the new build so I 
can find where the equivalent functionality exists and what variables 
are now to be used.

Thanks,
David
