Building javac from the Hg snapshot

[John Rose]

To build the prototype, build the hotspot VM with these patches:
   http://homepage.mac.com/rose00/work/webrev/6652736/wkk.patch
   http://homepage.mac.com/rose00/work/webrev/6653858/anonk.patch

There are instructions for pulling from mercurial and building here:
   http://openjdk.java.net/groups/hotspot/

You can build hotspot independently of the other systems.
Until we get an mlvm repo. going, our patches are all based on:
   http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot-comp-gate/hotspot/

Best wishes,
-- John
