New build system - from scratch experiences

Thank you for taking a look at this and sending in feedback!

I wanted to double check on the version of the sources you are working 
with - is it 7 or 8?  Since JDK7 has been released, the active 
development work on build-infra moved to JDK8, with the project forest 
located here:

    http://hg.openjdk.java.net/build-infra/jdk8/

The JDK7 source tree is not under active development any longer.

I will post an update to the project web page ASAP:

   http://openjdk.java.net/projects/build-infra/
