I agree. If we incorporate stuff that's actively
beeing maintained elsewhere into kaffe then it might
be best to incorporate it as jars, like we do it for
kjc. The problem with jars is that CVS doesn't handle
binary files well, but the (in my opinion
overwhelming) positive aspect is that we avoid
"forks".
