Note, at this time, it is illegal to provide a binary version of the
JDK/JRE, due to Sun's licensing.  Things are progressing, and I just
spoke to those folks involved in the licensing issue, and we *might* be
able to get a (legal) binary version released by the time 4.5 is
released.

(Apologies to Greg, who hasn't heard any of this yet since I just heard
it myself...)
