LJC OpenJDK Warnings hack day

[Martijn Verburg]

Thanks Stuart,

This is very much appreciated!  We're more than happy to have patches
reviewed as and when is convenient for you time and workload wise.  As
discussed with Cecilia, Tomas et al (they were in London a few days ago)
we're going to set up a pre-review group and try (we're still learning) to
apply the same sorts of rules that an OpenJDK committer would. This should
triage the patches into sensible sets and punt anything that doesn't meet
the 'Do no harm" nature of these fixes.

Cheers,
Martijn
