Use of OPENWIN_HOME on linux

It used to be in JDK6 that you could use ALT_OPENWIN_HOME to override
the default OPENWIN_HOME settings in the makefiles for the j2se
workspace. But now in JDK7 this has gone and the value is hardwired in
Defs-linux.gmk:
override OPENWIN_HOME =/usr/X11R6/
Can someone tell me why this change was made? It seems to go against the
normal policy of using the ALT_* variables to customize settings.
This value needs to be overridden externally when doing cross-compilation.
Thanks,
David
