Bug#276302: JavaCC and bootstrap/javacc.jar

Hi,

In CVS, bootstrap/javacc.jar has all of the old COM.sun.labs classes
within it (instead of the org.javacc ones). This causes a slight problem
with the packaging of JavaCC I am doing for Debian, as the Sun classes
do not have a "free" license.

How would people feel if I were to replace CVS's bootstrap/javacc.jar
with one generated by the 4.0 code (and made corresponding changes to
build.xmls)? I've checked that it still builds and passes its unit tests
with a 4.0 Jar (well, it would be rather worrying if it didn't!)

Thanks,
Paul
