Actually, 'ineptitude with autoconf' isn't a good description - I think it's
hard to write autoconf macros even with a book etc. None of the autoconf macros
I found were looking for the JVM libs, just the Kaffe equivalent of the 'java'
command, or javac I think. I must get hold of kaffe and have a good look at
getting it to work with KDE java, and the change the jvm libs macro
appropriately.

Gosh... do they think it works? I've just wrapped Qt 3.0.0 beta 2, which looks
pretty nice in Java with SQL stuff, and better text editing etc.
