Building OpenJDK on Windows XP

I spent some time yesterday looking into how you build the OpenJDK on Windows XP using Netbeans, and ran into some issues with various dependencies from Cygwin’s make (not finding uname, and some other Unix commands). I’m not sure if I keep plugging away at this if it can be done since there aren’t any definite instructions on how to run the build on Windows, but if I find out a way then I’l post my findings here.
