[kaffe] Kaffe as Installed JRE in Eclipse

[Michael Franz]

I have tried to build eclipse 3.0M9 with kaffe 1.1.4.  It looked like 
it worked (but it really didn't).  There are some things missing, like 
AWT/Swing that are somehow used within the build.  I had to change 
about 10 xml files to get it to recognize os=linux ws=gtk arch=ppc.  
Took about 7 hours on my G3 400.  It actually takes longer if you use 
jikes - I think the call to a none java applications has more overhead 
than the slow intrp.

Doing the same build on an x86 takes about 13 minutes (no kaffe VM).
