Aha.

Ok, that gives me what I need to know - I'll backport the java5 option
to the 1.9.1 ebuild.

I hope to be able to support building with gcj soon... that's gonna
have to wait until gcc4.3 gets released though, i've gotten stung
enough with toolchain snapshots.

Ah, also... any chance you could fix html doc building in the future?

Cheers!
