java/44041: Generate bsd.java.mk from an XML file

[Herve Quiroz]

Ernst,

I was in the mood for some XSLT coding so I decided to take care of this
one hour ago. So far, I've finished everything up to step 3 (included) but
I will need to get some sleep sooner or later ;)

So I was wondering if you still need this XML->bsd.java.mk tool... and if
you (or anybody else) had already done something about it.

I am missing the _JAVA_VERSIONS= [...] line for now because I don't know
how to eliminate duplicates in a string easily. Also I think the step 4
will be complex (but not impossible) because I can't find an easy way of
enforcing the rules you describe in the comments. But then again, things
could look easier after a good sleep.

Regards,

Herve
