OBuildFactory - Package builder

[Tiago Stürmer Daitx]

I'm glad to inform you that I have forked the
https://github.com/hgomez/obuildfactory project into
https://github.com/tdaitx/obuildfactory and added support for building
the OpenJDK PowerPC/AIX port on Linux.

Please use the feature branch "use-openjdk-powerpc-port", otherwise
obuildfactory will fetch from OpenJDK's default mercurial repositories
instead of powerpc-aix-port.

obuildfactory can build both JDK7u and JDK8 branches. The main page has
a link containing Linux build instructions. As a shortcut this is what I
have been using:

== JDK7u ==
$ JAVA_HOME=/home/tdaitx/openjdk/openjdk1.7.0-ppc-aix-port-b03/
XBUILD=true XCLEAN=true ./obuildfactory/openjdk7/linux/standalone-job.sh

== JDK8 ==
$ XUSE_NEW_BUILD_SYSTEM=true
OBF_JAVA7_HOME=/home/tdaitx/openjdk/openjdk1.7.0-ppc-aix-port-b03/
XBUILD=true XCLEAN=true ./obuildfactory/openjdk8/linux/standalone-job.sh

For now only the build has been tested. Generating distro packages
should work, but I haven't got there, yet.

Keep in mind that I intentionally let some build environment variables
and configure flags out (compared to Simonis build), it's working so far
on both Fedora 17 and 18. 

If you try it, please let me know how it goes. I'm eager for some
feedback. =)

Cheers!
