Building from source code

[Kevin Rushforth]

We need to update the instructions, but basically all you need is a way 
to locate the jfxrt.jar that matches the openjfx version you are trying 
to build.

For FX 8, you need to download the EA version of JDK8 at: 
http://jdk8.java.net/download.html

You can use JDK7 to build openjfx...just point your JFXRT_HOME env 
variable to the JDK8 jre/lib directory.
