To clarify some more...

The Sun folk are probably building their own JDK
not with JDK_UPDATE_VERSION set to 0,
but completely undefined.

You may freely choose to do things differently,
but you should be aware that this is a point
of divergence between IcedTea and "official" JDK.

You might want to consider never defining JDK_UPDATE_VERSION,
since you will never be issuing "update" releases
in the sense that Sun uses that term.
