It is assumed that the HotSpot zip is a hg changeset in the same form
as those returned by the automated process which occurs when you don't
specify a zip file.  You should be able to use any changeset that is
in the map.  What exactly is the zip you are using?  I would expect it
to be a copy of
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot/hotspot/archive/f9d938ede196.tar.gz
given what you say.
