Wasn't hard, it basically worked out of the box once the autoconf stuff was 
fixed to look for gcj.

Ok, new patch is at:
http://www.hawkins.emu.id.au/kdebindings_KDE_3_1_BRANCH-20040122.diff

I have gone through and made a bunch of changes that are needed for policy 
compliance.

Well, it shouldn't break anything - the only patch which applies to a file 
outside of debian/ is the patch to admin/acinclude.m4.in, to make the 
configure script's java test find the javac which is provided in debian's gcj 
package. The j2sdk copy of java will be used if it is found first.
There are also a couple of patches in debian/patches that possibly should be 
applied to the main tree as well (one adds an encoding option to javac's 
command line, the other moves dcop.py into the site-packages directory).

I'm a DD but not a KDE developer, so I can't commit to cvs. I guess I should 
probably go and ask for KDE cvs access if I want to look after this in the 
longer term.
