This is a bit more than just adding a message.  It also adds:

+  # No DOCS build when JDK_UPDATE_VERSION set
+  ifdef JDK_UPDATE_VERSION
+    GENERATE_DOCS=false
+  endif


Sorry about that, I assumed I was making a correction to a long standing
problem. When we build jdk update releases, the docs are not regenerated.
The variable JDK_UPDATE_VERSION indicates a jdk update build, I
just assumed that's what it was being used for.


JDK_UPDATE_VERSION has to be set for IcedTea to deal with broken
plugins which expect this (such as
http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml).  I don't think it
follows that turning on a version setting forces documentation off.
Can we make this an #ifndef OPENJDK block?

Strange use of JDK_UPDATE_VERSION if you ask me.

Why not just 'make GENERATE_DOCS=true' with the IcedTea builds?
Or am I missing the point?
What exactly is it that JDK_UPDATE_VERSION provides for IcedTea builds?
