Really?  I don't remember it, and I don't know enough to be happy/sad
with it. :)

I do know that the JDK must link in -lxpg4 to get support for Asian
locales (wide-char support), so it saves me having to link in a library.

But, that's a pretty trivial step to do.

Sounds good to me, but I have no strong opinion one way or the other.
