A new JMOD section was introduced to handle header files and man pages in JDK-8167558.
See http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2016-October/009654.html

I realized now that it was sent to jigsaw-dev only (sorry for missing build-dev).

Will fix.

Possibly this is a webrev issue, but please make sure it's correct before pushing. (I have just looked at a few license files at random, so maybe you should double-check all of them to make sure there are no other character encoding issues.)

Good catch.  Will double check all of them.

But from what I can tell, they are just the same plain text licenses as before. Several of them, contains text that will be interpreted as markdown markup codes, but will probably result in hideous looks since it's not intentionally markdown formatted.

We will take another pass on these files.  I agree that the original license text should be code blocks.

Not in the images build.    

This enables a user to run tools like pandoc to aggregate these files and generate  a separate document for example one single HTML file seeing all third party licenses or other format.
