hotspot build instructions

[Peter B. Kessler]

I wrote osse-build-linux-i586 back when all we had out in the
open was the HotSpot source code.  It's been superseded by all
the good work people have done making it easy (possible) to
build HotSpot as part of building the whole OpenJDK.

Do you want to build just HotSpot (the JVM, no class libraries)
or do you want to build the whole JDK?  If so, you might want
to post questions on build-dev at openjdk.java.net.

I'll take a note to clean up old http://openjdk.java.net/groups/hotspot
web pages, but it won't make it to the top of my stack soon.
