OpenJDK Binary

I am confident that Oracle will not "sue" me.  I am a community member
acting in the open and in good faith.

There really is no big secret to what OpenSCG does.   It is relatively
trivial to build the OpenJDK on Linux.    It's a bit tricky to build
OpenJDK on Windoze, but, I just followed the published instructions
carefully and did a little web searching when I ran into issues.

Over the last couple years it has become easier to build the Windoze
version of OpenJDK (especically version 7 & 8).   For OpenJDK 6, I build
the binaries on Windows 2000 with an old version of Visual Studio to
achieve maximum compatibility with newer versions of Win32/Win64.
