That's right, adding an additional build dependancy is always bad.

Well, IMHO, having to care about -u at all is ugly :-)

And the fastjar having the -u option documented when running "fastjar
-help", but then abort with "fastjar: `-u' mode unimplemented." when I
actually use it, is _really_ ugly!

BTW, I just noticed that the sun jdk 1.1 that is part of woody/non-free
brings a jar that does not understand -u either.

I just committed an updated jdbc2/Makefile:

- more comments
- all helper binaries are now configurable (I missed cp before)
- workaround for broken woody jars via DEBUGJAR environment variable
- classpath cleanups, regression tests now use jars instead of build
  directory, this should help catching packaging errors
- small other cleanups

Alex, could you test whether it works on all your environments (with
appropriate CLASSPATH, JAR and DEBUGJAR settings)?

Strk, does it still work for you?

Markus
