Subject: Port tgz for jikes available for comment (was Re: IBM Jikes)

    I would appreciate any and all comments on my attempt to create a port
    for jikes: ( I haven't commited this yet ).  Here is the URL to the
    .tgz of my proposed port.

	http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD/			(index)
	http://www.backplane.com/FreeBSD/jikes-0.41.tgz		(actual url)

    (Note: the MASTER_SITES currently lists my personal web server which, 
    needless to say, is not going to be the official master site since my
    poor DSL line probably couldn't handle all the downloads.  I would need
    help getting the IBM distribution placed on the correct FreeBSD site).

    I have no idea whether I've done this right.  It seems to work :-)
    Once I've fixed things in response to the comments, I will commit the
    port (or should I get specific permission from Satoshi first?).

    Since IBM seems to be intent on ensuring that people read their license
    agreement, I have a .if/.endif check for READ_IBM_LICENSE and @echo
    instructions and abort as appropriate if it isn't set in
    /etc/make.conf.local.  Comments on that methodology would also be 
    appreciated (do I have to set RESTRICTED too ?)

    IBM hasn't supplied a man page.  Use the -h option to jikes for help.
    The grand result of the port is to install a single program, 
    /usr/local/bin/jikes
