1. Make it easier to do a closed and open jdk build in one make target

2. Add ALT_* variables so that you can refer to an all platform area containing all the various platform dirs for: ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH, ALT_BOOTDIR, ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH, etc.   Maybe use some ALT_ALL_* naming convention?

3. Fix the defaults on open and closed builds so that the right choices are used by default on both ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH, and ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH  (and ALT_CLOSED_JDK_IMPORT_PATH).

Or maybe ALT_*S like ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATHS???

Decided that these would be ALT_BUILD_JDK_IMPORT_PATH and ALT_BUILD_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH.
Probably only useful for integrators that might set this for all platforms.

N/A

Added control targets:

   gnumake boot_cycle     # Builds and uses build as bootdir
   gnumake both           # Builds closed jdk & plugs, then builds open with those plugs and jdk

Testing...

Added ALT_BUILD_JDK_IMPORT_PATH and ALT_BUILD_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH, defined to be the directory above the $(PLATFORM)-$(ARCH) directories for the coresponding vars. The specific ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH and ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH settings will override.

Can't do alot about the defaults, however, I've requested that the java RE team leave a tree of all platform binary plugs so that we could have an appropriate internal (Sun developers) default for the binary plugs.
