The new version isn't any worse than the old in my opinion. In 
build-infra, this file is indeed replaced with make logic. After having 
decoded both versions I'm confident in converting the changes.

I have applied the patch to a clone of build-infra and done the minimal 
changes to keep build-infra building, which was rather trivial. The 
resulting build has large differences since I haven't converted all of 
it yet. There are a couple of things that will require some more work, 
but not more than a day or two.

I see these as possible options:

1. Let this go in, build-infra will break in jdk8 until we do our next 
push and it trickles through the repos.
2. The build-infra project provides a patch with the full conversion 
that can go in together with these changes.
3. The build-infra project provides a simple patch which just keeps the 
build-infra-build from failing that can go in with these changes.

The conversion needs to happen regardless of option. The changes 
required are pretty isolated from remaining build-infra work. What do 
you think?

Other than that, I have no objections to the review.
