Cool! Saves me packaging it myself :) Actually I probably couldn't
package it anyway (I'm a JDK source licencee).

JDK *will* be glibc! Right now there are some problems related to
Motif (& as I don't have a copy I'm having a hard time helping Chris
track it down). As soon as I find some more tuits I'm also going back
to porting JDK to native threads.

If you do this now, it will have to go into Debian 2.1 (slink), so
there's no point in doing a libc5 version.
