Problems building openjfx

[Kevin Rushforth]

One thing that might help diagnose this is to look at is the output of 
'build/windows_tools.properties'.

Those env variables should be set automatically by the build if you have 
VS 2017 installed in the default location. If you have changed anything 
in your system (installed new packages or set different env vars) then 
manually "rm -rf build" and try running "gradle" again and see if that 
helps.
