OK that's all usefull to me to play with.

I won't address that right now although there probably are some evil

In terms for rebuilding - assuming the java specific parts of OO.o can
be neatly packaged, the way JPackage JDK's work is that we use
alternatives (yes they can aren't right for everyything but for multiple
vendor java/javac I think it is a good solution) so java/javac are in
standard paths.

The autoconf macros are worth considering, too.
