[7u4-osx] Please review: 7124089: launcher refactoring v2.0

[Kumar Srinivasan]

Hi Kelly et. al.,

  I have beautified/fixed the Makefiles addressing Kellys' comments below:

1. Indented the Makefiles correctly.
2. Annotated with more  trailing comments to the if/else/endif clauses
3. Removed the offending \ escapes
4. Removed the * from Release.gmk, it turns out the files being copied
    were not quite right (missing files), fixed it such that all the 
appropriate files
    are copied.
5. Added comments for the MacOSX specific cflags.

The incremental webrev is here:

The full webrev is here:

Thanks
Kumar
