MLVM and OpenJDK b36

[Chris Hogue]

Just wanted to update that I've found what I was missing in case
others have the same problem.

The .txt files in the patch directories describe how to build the
pieces manually instead of as part of the build, but the wiki page
says "Once patches are applied, build as usual. Build instructions are
posted with the OpenJDK Build Group."  So I was thinking they'd get
built as part of the normal JDK build once I applied the patches.

I won't be able to test things out until tomorrow, but then if it all
works I'm happy to add a comment on the wiki mentioning that these
patches aren't built as part of the normal build and to consult the
text files in the patches.

Thanks.

-Chris
