A minor versioning bug:

My latest IcedTea report
$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_101"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.6) (7u101-2.6.6-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)

But notice that hotspot's minor version is still stuck at 95.
./hotspot/make/hotspot_version:37:HS_MINOR_VER=95
Probably that should have been updated to 101.
(Yes, there exists code that cares)
(Yes, it's awful that only hotspot tries to maintain the update
version in a makefile while the rest of the JDK requires the release
engineer to provide it)
