Sounds good.

I suggest we credit Niels Thykier for this change.  He is the one 
pointing out to me that GCJ is now available on all archs, when we (and 
others, including Zacchiroli) met for a beer in Copenhagen 2 weeks ago.

Niels ia a nice guy from Denmark working with Java (obviously). He is 
currently in the NM queue, I believe.


Kind regards,
