OpenJDK 7u Tarballs

[Martin Buchholz]

Thanks for doing this.  It's sufficiently tricky (as you discovered) for
someone to grab a revision of openjdk that is closest to having been an
"official release") that it's a valuable service.

I've also spent some time reading the hg tag tea leaves in the past.

Some of those early "u" releases are not real.  They were abandoned during
development as they were "u-renumbered" due to unexpected security
releases.  Looking at the proprietary equivalents
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html
I believe that e.g. 7u12 and 7u14 fall into this bucket and should be
deleted.

(And belated thanks for making a proper jdk7u85-b02!)
