Building javac from the Hg snapshot

[Bharath Ravi Kumar]

A couple of additional points:

1)I didn't mean to imply that building the compiler would suffice to get
started with the DVM. In fact, it is just that I started trying to build the
JDK itself beginning with the lang tools. In general, what would be the
right location to download individual bundles from?
2)What bundles do I need to build in order to try out the
AnonymousClassLoader prototype ?

Thanks,
Bharath
