That does NOT seem to contain the source of the compiler.  There should
be a file called TreeMaker.java, and it is not present (at least find can
not find it).  There is a directory rt, which contains (as the 
openjdk-6-src package does) the run time source, but I can not find the
source of the compiler in that.
