This is good news.  Some of those options will be backported to IcedTea 1.x for
OpenJDK 6 for the 1.13 release, so should reduce the number of patches needed there too.

I'm a little concerned by the use of the make flags.  USE_SYSTEM_GTK, USE_SYSTEM_CUPS and
USE_SYSTEM_FONTCONFIG are only ever used in make/sun/xawt/Makefile and make/sun/awt/mawt.gmk
which I assume Windows doesn't include, as it seems unlikely you have these libraries
installed.  Do you have GConf or GIO available?  That seems unlikely and both shouldn't be
used at the same time...
