and it took an awful long time to compile, and a re-make after an

Additionally, for it to recognise Java I had to add a symlink in
/usr/pkg/sava/sun-1.3.1: jre -> . because apparently stuff is searched
in that jre subdirectory which is actually not that deep.

Why it installed sun-jdk13 and sun-jre13 while sun-j??14 versions are
available, I don't know. Maybe those have that directory right.
