This is for jdk8 and is quite urgent. A problem with man page handling in certain (Oracle) build configurations was discovered following my last change in the area. This patch moves the remaining logic for closed man pages to the closed Images.gmk to keep it all in the same place. It also changes some := into = and moves the include point of the closed file to enable the needed overrides to work.
This looks fine to me.
On a side note, making the open makefiles both clear, readable, effective and easily overridable is something I would like to address in 9. This late in 8, we just need to make it work with minimal changes.
Yeah this is fragile but I'm not sure there is a general solution. The positioning of the includes has been determined by current needs, but as soon as you have a new requirement that requires a conflicting include location then you are stuck.
