Heay, that is super cool!

I immediately fell into the "--enable-hg trap" by forgetting it. I think
it makes sense to either make that the default if --with-project=x is
given and project x needs a hg repo pull, or at least fail the
configure/build step.

Yeah, this might be a bit of a pain to keep current. Either the projects
supported need to sync often enough or we need to differentiate our
patches. Neither is really that attractive. The best thing would
probably be for us to help these projects get pushed into the main jdk7
tree sooner.

You managed to push this without generating a commit message. I cannot
figure out why that is. Do you have any idea how you got this commit in
"under the hgext.notify radar"?
