Cool, how can we get this pushed upstream? Anything I can do to help?

I'm trying on 7.2/i386. The system version of patch(1) didn't really like
that diff (complained about a malformed patch at line 9954(?)). Patching
with gpatch worked though.
I think I've hit the same problem Andrey did in an earlier post. I'm
trying out his patch now. I've actually adapted things slightly and
am building the port as eclipse-devel. I'd be happy to commit it there
for wider testing if you feel thats warranted before we update the main
eclipse port.
