No, I've been pretty busy with work lately and haven't really had time
to look into it any further.
However, it may not be as urgently needed as I thought. It would
probably still be nice to have some sort of automatic-compilation
framework in place if anyone ever packages jpython/jython, but I think
we may not need to have parallel installations of 1.5 and 2.0 for much
longer. (Although I have no inside knowledge, I have heard that the
GPL incompatibility issue has been worked out and will be fixed
shortly. I certainly hope so...) In that case, I guess we would
still need both of them long enough to allow package maintainers to
switch to using /usr/lib/python2.0 instead of /usr/lib/python1.5, if
nothing else.
