Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
This mainly involves some makefile ugliness to work around bugs in the
native Windows OpenJDK code involving conflicting static and
not-static declarations which GCC 4.0 and later justifiably reject but
MSVC tolerates.
All the tests are passing for openjdk-src builds, but the non-src
openjdk build is crashing and there's trouble loading time zone info
from the embedded java.home directory.
As described in readme.txt, a standalone OpenJDK build embeds all
libraries, classes, and other files needed at runtime in the resulting
binary, eliminating dependencies on external resources.
