Now, the fastjar removal is a desaster.  Getting the "package" from savannah
(there's only a CVS checkout possible at the moment) gives you an unbuildable
source tree which has gcc dependencies all over the place and so usual
10 minutes
fiddling with the makefiles didn't result in a buildable fastjar
package.  This suggests
that fastjar is really not a separate package from gcc.  (It requires
libiberty, its
documentation requires all sorts of gcc texi magic which I couldn't get right

This sucks.
