It should be provided by pkg_alternatives
I don't know what happens if you do not have pkg_alternatives installed
pkg_alternatives should be installed as soon as you install a package
providing an alternative, and i counted on that for apache-ant.

A better solution for this would be to have a variable providing the
path to java in mk/java-vm.mk, and use it instead of the
pkg_alternatives wrapper

yes, but that will probably work only for sun's java. kaffe also
provides a java_home/bin/java, but do all java vm do the same ?
If yes, this is a change we should take

it's pkg_alternatives, but i don;t know much on how it works
anyway, it would be better for apache-ant not to depend on that, since
it looks like it may break.
