JDK-6529248 - Update JDK build process to accommodate OpenJDK builds (Java 2D, part 2)
Description
OpenJDK cannot be built using certain encumbered closed sources and other resources.
An OpenJDK build will need to use pre-built binaries instead of the original sources
as an interim measure before providing unencumbered binaries.

The build process needs to be updated to be able to perform such an openjdk build.
Comments
EVALUATION This is mostly an exercise in moving around source files and updating Makefiles and their associated files. But some source refactoring is needed to avoid including unencumbered code as part of the binary only bits. Also some changes are needed in the font code to be able to distinguish OpenJDK in which we do not redistribute any fonts on which we normally rely.
