The "how to get it" at
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/java/gcj.html
only says that "it is it fully integrated into egcs" with a link to the
cvs checkout instructions. Since you by following those instruction can
download a release version I don't think the info is clear enough.

Maybe adding a simple "gcj is not currently included in the release
versions. You probably want to checkout the 'egcs_latest_snapshot'".

There are of course instructions in egcs on how you check the available
languages (that I managed to misunderstand as well, but I'll take full
responsibility for not following those myself :)
