Patrick-

That will be an easy upstream change for me to make. I will update the
Makefiles and upload a new tarball for you. I see you need "CXX" instead
of hardcoded "g++". How about "GCJ" and "GCJH" instead of hardcoded
"gcj" and "gcjh"? That appears to be the common convetion. Are there any
other macros I should add?

I can also add a FreeBSD Makefile ("Makefile.FreeBSD") to my new
tarball, based on your notes and the new macros.

Thanks-

Sid
