More notes on this build:

- 32-bit binaries are included, but Windows XP is not supported

- similar to jdk8 32-bit build (
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/ojdkbuild/I_sKh2X1S-s/aThQVcr7AQAJ ),
32-bit installer is not included, it can be built manually from ZIP bundle

- native debug symbols for release build are included

- version numbering is preliminary and is going to be changed after
the jdk9 release (installers won't support update from ea to release)
