Just to confirm my understanding, when Magnus or yourself speak about the old 
system as the jdk7 one, you are talking about the build of the subdirectory 
jdk8/jdk because the jdk8/hotspot is the same as in jdk7.

By the way, I am wondering in the "new" system  how you are planning the support 
the create.bat and the generation of the jcm.vxproj by ProjectCreator. 
VisualStudio C++ is a mandatory tool for testing, understanding and debugging 
hotspot. So what about the "old" hotspot build under jdk8?
