Intend to NMU jikes



Hi!

Tomcat 3.2.3-4 won't move to testing because it has a dependency on
Jikes 1.14 which in turn won't move to testing because it's not being built
on ARM [1]. Given the fact that the maintainter is not reachable and the
recent history of NMUs I'd like to upload my local package with these
changes:

jikes (1.15-0.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * NMU
  * New upstream release (closes: #116644)
  * Architecture: any (so jikes gets built on ARM again and can hopefully
    move to testing soon)
  * Use debhelper V3 in debian/rules
  * Call "make distclean" in debian/rules
  * Standards-Version: 3.5.6 (no changes required)
  * Compile using g++ 3.0 and default optimization (-O2) on i386
  * Drop the Debian locale patches, upstream included a different patch and
    will probably include the rest later (closes: #110149)
    The only patch to the upstream sources is now the NAN patch from #116265
  * Install jikesapi.h in /usr/include
  * Removed emacs variables from changelog to make lintian happy

The packages are currently available at
http://people.debian.org/~sgybas/jikes/ 
If nobody objects I'd like to upload them to incoming in the next few
days, I'll probably recompile the packages on an unstable machine with
g++ 3.0.2 final first. I'll also have to make some small changes for archs
that don't support g++ 3.0 yet, I'll test this on s390.

I have tested various g++ and optimization levels and found that you get
the best results on i386 with g++ 3.0 and -O2. The resulting binary
seems to work fine when compiling Tomcat 4.0, even with locale settings.
