Actually, what you suggest makes sense: headers to be generated once by
me and included in the cvs and tarball - they shouldn't change. I was
doing the following:
- figure out which build system is available
- generate the jar file with Ant
- generate the header files from the jar file with Ant
- compile the shared library

It's not in version 3.4.3-2 and probably should have investigated
libgcj-4.0.0 before asking ;)

Thanks,
