I don't thing that matters. I pull in kdelibs4-dev, most of gtk and
some gnomelibs. And Open Motif... Just to compile about 200kb. Sight...

IMO, this should have a different cdbs class. Havig gcj compiled
classes will lead to much differnt package problems. If we still get
to a java-config like system, as it is done by gentoo and JPackage and
as discussed in the last year java policy proposal, then we anyway
need to add this to the ant.mk class and it won't be needed be a gcj
based one, which neeed to generate shlibs files...

I've done that now. Works fine!
