Hi all,

In OpenJDK 8, some support has already been added for using the system installation of zlib (see the thread http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2012-July/010967.html), which is very similar to the support we've had in IcedTea for the last five years (wow, has it really been that long?).

This is great news for us, as it's less work we have to do in upstreaming the patch (though 7 still needs to be dealt with). As is, the following webrev:

just fixes a few minor issues to match our existing setup, and fixes a bug found when testing the existing support. In detail, the webrev:

Ok for the build forest? If so, can I please have a bug ID for this?

Thanks,

Andrew :)
