Peter Mount states categorically that kaffe won't compile PostgreSQL JDBC
because of a kaffe bug.

It certainly doesn't work for me.

With jdk1.1 (and kaffe removed) I get: 

olly@linda$ export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip 
olly@linda$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jdk1.1 
olly@linda$ ant

I can't see anything wrong with the code and assume it must be something
to do with my setup.  I've no idea what, though.
