Sub Tasks

Description
In hotspot makefile system, a bunch of variable definitions are in $hotspot_ws/make/Makefile rather than in a separate file. This makes reuse of such variables difficult. A better way to do this is to abstract these common variable definitions into a separate file so that many other parts of the make files could share these.

Comments
EVALUATION

Make a new file called defs.make in the same directory as $TOP_HOTSPOTDIR/make/Makefile which contains various definitions.

EVALUATION

Paul and Kelly suggested that if we want to make hotspot more like jdk, we better rename all the make files in hotspot from *.make to *.gmk. I don't think that is a bad idea.
