Successfully building 32- and 64-bit OpenJDK 8 on WinXP/64bit with free tools only

[Ben Evans]

Hi Henri,

Could you do this for the mlvm-dev builds as well? I know a lot of the
MLVM guys use Macs, and having this available (especially as we start
looking at things like coroutines) would be really useful.

(Adding mlvm-dev).

Thanks,

Ben
